# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Nov 14, 2012)

• Kanzure shared a YouTube video featuring Eri Gentry, likely related to biohacking or transhumanism, though no specific details about the content were discussed.

• A discussion about biochemistry took place, focusing on glycogen metabolism, molecular weight, and osmotic pressure, with participants examining how polymers like glycogen affect osmotic pressure differently than simple sugars like glucose.

• A scientific paper about osmotic pressure was shared (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1263110/), which was used to clarify concepts about molecular weight and its relationship to osmotic pressure.

• Several biohacking resources were shared, including a discussion about what people would want in biohacking stores (http://discuss.biohack.me/discussion/315/what-would-you-want-in-a-biohacking-stores/p1) and a Bay Area Biohacking meetup group (http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Biohacking/).

• An article about DIY biology at Manchester Science Festival was shared (http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Community-Live-DIYbio-at-Manchester-Science-Festival-2012-1746724.html).

• A participant mentioned acquiring urine testing sticks from eBay to test on "healthy" dogs, indicating an interest in veterinary biohacking or health monitoring, and mentioned seeking a refractometer for further testing.

• There was a brief discussion about a technical project involving app installations, with participants discussing how to prove the project wasn't artificially boosting installation numbers.
