- A new Nature paper describes “brain implantation of soft bioelectronics via embryonic development,” suggesting a route to seamless neural interfaces that grow with the organism.  
- A Substack guide titled “How to culture neurons for beginners” was shared as an open resource for DIY and low-cost cell-culture experimentation.  
- EUV lithography was discussed in depth, with links to 2016 symposium slides and a paper on line-edge roughness; participants noted that ASML’s laser-produced plasma source relies on physics akin to nuclear-weapon radiation hydrodynamics.  
- An open-source AI tool called PartCrafter was highlighted for converting 2-D images into geometrically distinct 3-D meshes, potentially accelerating rapid prototyping of biomedical or hardware components.  
- A new CRISPR-Cas9 protocol for gene editing in oat (Avena sativa) was circulated, expanding open-source plant-engineering toolkits.  
- E11 Bio was identified as a Focused Research Organization (FRO), illustrating a funding model that aims to compress long-term biotech goals into short, milestone-driven projects.  
- Participants debated the feasibility of “frequency-based” cancer or pathogen killing; skepticism centered on lack of selectivity, while the proponent claimed an 80 % chance of eventual success if personalized frequencies could be found.  
- A speculative framework for memory extraction and inter-individual transfer was outlined, combining activity-dependent tagging (c-Fos, Arc), real-time calcium imaging, and surgical isolation of spatially stabilized engrams.  
- A tongue-in-cheek proposal emerged to solve forestry problems by remote-controlling termites, with the open question of how to automate or scale insect neuromodulation without per-individual surgery.
