# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (July 10, 2010)

* A link to "Print your DNA" was shared (http://www.bitsfrombytes.com/wiki/index.php?title=Science_-_DNA), along with a Reddit discussion about genetic engineering.

* A discussion about DIYbio in Singapore raised concerns about proposals to "un-anonymize" the DIYbio community, with criticism that this would be a problematic approach for open science.

* Several biohacking and synthetic biology resources were shared, including the LavaAmp v0.2 project (http://www.synthesis.cc/2010/06/lavaamp-v02.html), biobusiness.tv, and iGEM team projects working on oil sands remediation.

* A philosophical discussion referenced Allen Buchanan's work on human enhancement, with concerns raised about bioethicists who propose banning enhancement technologies as "crimes against humanity."

* An interesting scientific finding was shared about how genes that make mustard spicy to humans also enable snakes to "see" heat, allowing them to strike prey in darkness.

* Several maker/DIY spaces were mentioned, including NextFab Studio in Philadelphia and BOSSLAB, which was developing low-cost, open-source biotechnology kits.

* Efforts to improve the Wikipedia article on DIYbio were discussed, with one participant formatting a large bibliography of references to strengthen the article's credibility.
