# Summary of IRC Log Discussion

• A paper on microfluidic logic gates and timers was shared (http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2007/LC/b708764k), with a Scribd mirror provided (http://www.scribd.com/doc/50435809/B708764K) for those who couldn't access the original.

• Kanzure shared extensive microfluidics paper collections at http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers/microfluidics/ and http://bio.cc/Bioinformics/papers/microfluidics/, providing a valuable resource for DIY researchers.

• The ChemHackerSTM project was highlighted, including schematics, source code, and techniques for etching STM tips (http://www.chemhacker.com/2010/09/chemhackerstm-0-1/ and http://www.chemhacker.com/2010/09/how-i-etch-stm-tips/).

• A discussion about direct-to-consumer genetic testing regulation was referenced through an article at http://www.harappadna.org/2011/03/your-genes-regulated/, indicating ongoing regulatory challenges in this space.

• A Genspace "biotech crash course" was mentioned (http://diybio.org/blog/biotech-crash-course), along with a Genomera presentation about collaborative experimentation (http://www.slideshare.net/erigentry/gentry-laser-7-mar11).

• Participants shared IRC logs for ##electronics and ##chemistry channels, suggesting cross-disciplinary interests among the community members in DIY hardware and chemical experimentation.
