# Key Points from #hplusroadmap IRC Discussion

• A paper on expert performance titled "Capturing the Naturally Occurring Superior Performance of Experts in the Laboratory Toward a Science of Expert and Exceptional Performance" was shared, focusing on methodologies for studying expertise development.

• Researchers discussed microfluidic device fabrication techniques using laser printers with "Shrinky Dink" thermoelastic polymer, highlighting concerns about ink particle inconsistency and potential cracking during the shrinking process.

• A GitHub repository called "pdfparanoia" was mentioned as having added support for Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) documents, likely for removing document watermarks or tracking information from academic papers.

• The channel shared information about "Glove Talk II," a data glove for speech synthesis demonstrated on YouTube, showing wearable technology applications for alternative communication methods.

• A discussion of "Adjacent Reality" referenced "Stu's adjacent possible," suggesting engagement with innovation theory or technological development frameworks in the transhumanist community.

• The community appears to use a bot called "paperbot" that automatically retrieves and archives academic papers when users share links, facilitating collaborative research.

• The East Bay DIY Biology group was conducting a naming survey, reflecting the ongoing organization of biohacking communities connected to the transhumanist movement.
