# Summary of ##hplusroadmap IRC Log (April 7, 2016)

* A scientific critique was shared (via arxiv.org/abs/1604.01359) challenging recent Nature journal publications on magnetism in biological systems, arguing that claims about protein complexes acting as compass needles and magnetically-gated ion channels violate basic physics by 5-10 orders of magnitude.

* A user inquired about experience with creating haptic interfaces, prompting another user to share resources from Stanford's Salisbury Lab, including a lecture on cable transmissions for robot design and images of haptic interface prototypes.

* The conversation included references to Stanford's robotics research, specifically highlighting cable transmission mechanisms that could be relevant for haptic feedback systems.

* The channel maintained its focus on technical discussions related to transhumanism and biohacking, with minimal social conversation compared to technical content.

* The log demonstrates the channel's role as a space for sharing and critiquing cutting-edge research at the intersection of biology, physics, and engineering.
