# Summary of IRC Log from #hplusroadmap (July 27, 2013)

The log was relatively quiet with minimal substantive discussion, but contained a few notable items:

* A Nature Neuropsychopharmacology paper was shared by superkuh, with paperbot automatically providing a link to access the full text (though the specific content wasn't discussed).

* Archels shared a video link to "Glassified," a ruler with transparent display technology that supplements physical drawing, demonstrating interest in augmented reality tools.

* Kanzure mentioned Handibot, an open source hardware tool being launched via Kickstarter, noting that while the company claimed the design was available on GitHub, he couldn't locate the promised repository.

* A significant update to the DIY biohacking wiki was documented through multiple commits, mapping biohacker communities across the globe including groups in Colombia, Ukraine, Russia, Brazil, Australia, and various US cities.

* Heath and others briefly discussed protein engineering, noting the contrast between the theoretical NP-hardness of protein design and the practical reality of current protein engineering approaches, which rely heavily on directed evolution rather than purely rational design.

* A quote was shared about how engineering and science are coupled disciplines, suggesting that biology has been constrained by lacking an engineering discipline to complement it, similar to how aeronautics developed separately from mimicking birds.
