- A short animated GIF of CRISPR-Cas9 was shared, depicting the enzyme with a gRNA “scarf,” intended as both an educational visualization and a playful character design.  
- A companion illustration of Cas9 was posted, exploring the idea of personifying the enzyme as a friendly yet precision-obsessed protagonist for a science-themed story.  
- Participants briefly debated the merits of such anthropomorphized science art, with one member jokingly referencing Don Hertzfeldt’s style.  
- A Discord invite link (https://discord.gg/qVq3nhV4) was provided to help IRC users access the same media-rich discussions more easily, highlighting ongoing friction between IRC and mobile clients.
