- A debate emerged over radiation risk models: Jack Devanney’s new paper proposes replacing the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model with a Sigmoid No-Threshold (SNT) model, arguing it better fits data from Fukushima and Chernobyl (https://gordianknotbook.com/download/replacing-lnt-with-snt/).  
- Participants discussed radiation hormesis—the idea that low-dose ionizing radiation may be net beneficial—contrasting it with the view that any DNA damage is cumulative and ultimately harmful; Wikipedia’s hormesis article was cited (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hormesis).  
- Concern was raised that embryos cryo-stored since the early 1990s may have accumulated cosmic-ray-induced damage, potentially reducing viability; an EPA dose calculator was shared for personal exposure estimates (https://www.epa.gov/radiation/calculate-your-radiation-dose).  
- Autoimmune-disease experimentation was detailed: one member with ulcerative colitis (UC) triggered after COVID-19 reviewed current treatments (mesalazine, corticosteroids), upcoming biologics, and research on post-COVID autoimmunity (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41584-023-00964-y).  
- Celiac-disease nanoparticle therapy TAK-101 was highlighted as a near-term, potentially DIY-tolerizable intervention; two key papers were linked (https://www.darmzentrum-bern.ch/fileadmin/darmzentrum/Education/Journal_Club/2021/JC_21-05-12_-_TAK-101_Nanoparticles_Induce_Gluten-Specific_Tolerance_in_Celiac_disease.pdf and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19635921/).  
- Helminthic therapy—deliberate infection with low-pathogenicity parasites—was mentioned as an underground option sourced from Mexico (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Helminthic_therapy).  
- A speculative concept was floated to reprogram immune surveillance so that T-cells not only spare edited cells but actively perform in-vivo genetic modification of unedited ones, effectively turning the immune system into a living gene-therapy compiler.  
- An Indian artificial-heart project claims an 8× cost reduction versus imported devices (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/made-in-india-artificial-heart-to-be-8-times-cheaper-than-imported-one/articleshow/94440316.cms).
