- A DIY glowing plant project reached a milestone: the organism now emits enough light to be visible in a dark room after a minute of eye adaptation, demonstrating progress in consumer-grade synthetic biology.  
- MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms released a 2017 paper on “Self-Assembling Spacecraft” (PDF + YouTube video) that outlines modular, self-replicating satellite architectures for in-orbit construction.  
- A transcript of Brian Minnick’s 2021 RepRap talk was shared, offering insights into open-source 3-D printing evolution and distributed manufacturing strategies.  
- A link to qntm’s short story “MMacevedo” was circulated, sparking discussion on mind-uploading ethics and the simulation of human consciousness.  
- A public Google Sheet tracking global biostasis (cryonics) statistics was distributed, accompanied by an invitation to the Cryosphere Discord for further collaboration.  
- The archived “Mechadense APM Wiki” (atomically precise manufacturing reference) was relocated to http://apm.bplaced.net, preserving a key resource for molecular manufacturing research.  
- DIYHPL.us published a 2018 Nectome transcript covering aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation and brain banking techniques aimed at high-fidelity connectome preservation.
