# Summary of IRC Log from January 25, 2017

- A discussion about oscilloscope probes occurred, with users sharing recommendations for replacement probes on Amazon/eBay (around $13-16 for two), and one user describing how faulty probes caused measurement errors with signals appearing at 80% of actual voltage.

- kanzure shared a research paper titled "Generation of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene-targeted pigs via somatic cell nuclear transfer," indicating ongoing interest in genetic engineering applications in mammals.

- yashgaroth provided an update on irisin research, noting that while the protein is relatively easy to synthesize, the scientific community remains uncertain about its actual biological effects.

- The conversation included technical troubleshooting about electronic measurement equipment, specifically regarding signal integrity issues with oscilloscope probes that had developed bad connections near the tip.

- The channel maintained its focus on transhumanist topics including genetic engineering, biohacking, and physiological enhancement through compounds like irisin.
