# Key Points from #hplusroadmap IRC Discussions

- Kanzure shared work on a project called "modelo" and discussed web scraping tools including a PhantomJS/Node bridge called "phridge," demonstrating ongoing development of data collection tools relevant to research.

- A critical discussion of DIYbio ethics occurred, with Kanzure arguing against the idea of unifying under a single code of ethics, suggesting that diversity of ethical frameworks is natural given human differences.

- The International Laboratory for the Identification of Antibacterial Drugs (ILIAD) was mentioned as an initiative searching globally for new naturally occurring antibiotic compounds from diverse biological sources.

- Participants discussed phage therapy and debated why it isn't more widespread, leading to broader considerations about healthcare economics and ethical resource allocation in medical treatments.

- Technical discussions included PCB design techniques that create pad outlines combining multiple component footprints, allowing flexibility when components are difficult to source or approaching end-of-life.

- Specific technical parameters were shared, including photoresist requirements (approximately 20mW per square centimeter) and details about a 2W 445nm-450nm blue laser module powerful enough for experimental applications.

- A livestream link for EHSM (Exceptionally Hard & Soft Meeting) was shared, indicating community engagement with technical conferences and knowledge sharing.
