# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (June 2, 2013)

* A user mentioned a Nature paper that references Norbert Wiener's 1949 "Cybernetics" work, showing the continued relevance of early cybernetic theory in contemporary scientific literature.

* Heath and kanzure discussed DNA origami and microfluidic techniques, including methods for transporting DNA products between synthesis and sequencing areas using beads, bubbles, or laser propulsion of DNA-bound beads (similar to Cambrian Genomics' approach).

* Heath shared that he designed his first "DNA square" and was considering whether to synthesize it himself or outsource the synthesis, with further discussion about verifying the structure using AFM/STM imaging.

* Kanzure shared a link to a resource collection at diyhpl.us/wiki/declaration that summarizes transhumanist technologies the channel was created to work on collaboratively.

* The conversation touched on educational resources for biology and chemistry, with references to wikiversity and Wikipedia portals as starting points for those interested in the field.

* Users discussed Ido Bachelet's TEDMed Israel talk on nanobots in medicine, with kanzure suggesting that Robert Freitas' book would provide more thorough information on medical nanorobotics.
