# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Nov 29, 2013)

The log was relatively quiet with minimal substantive discussion, but contained:

* A paper was shared about conflicts of interest in medical guidelines, specifically "Majority of panelists on controversial new cholesterol guideline have current or recent ties to drug manufacturers" (http://www.davidrasnick.com/Home_files/Lenzer%202013.pdf).

* Discussion noted that the cholesterol guidelines went in an unexpected direction, with the implication that pharmaceutical industry ties may have influenced the recommendations.

* A user shared and processed a paper through paperbot related to citation analysis (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.13.9460).

* The conversation was predominantly join/quit notifications and brief greetings, with very little substantive technical or transhumanist discussion during this particular day.
