- A Korean Institute for Basic Science press release (https://www.ibs.re.kr/cop/bbs/BBSMSTR_000000000738/selectBoardArticle.do?nttId=24921) was shared, likely covering recent Korean bio- or neuro-tech research.

- A randomized controlled trial (PMC10265161) claims that high-intensity interval training can reduce “transcriptomic age,” although participants noted the reported effect size is small and the confidence intervals are wide.

- The “Splitting Infinity” Substack post “Important Research Areas” (https://splittinginfinity.substack.com/p/important-research-areas) was circulated as a curated list of high-impact future-tech topics.

- The Nano-MIND magnetogenetic brain interface—an experimental, magnetically actuated neural control system demonstrated in mice—was highlighted as a promising direction for non-invasive BCI.

- Discussion turned to ultra-low-cost purification of basic biochemical feedstocks (amino acids, nucleobases) via scaled-up column chromatography; ideas included using sand-filled concrete culverts, periodic bleach or heat sterilization to prevent biofouling, and the need for specialized resin coatings on the stationary phase.
