Perhaps it’s somewhat old news (weeks old?), but thought I’d mention it
in passing.

Cheers indeed. We wish that Mark's grapevine was a little riper. I have
no idea what the details of this SKINR research consist of, but let me
put forth a guess, more like a hope or some wishful thinking about what
they could be doing - which would have the maximum impact on state of
the art.
The future of LENR looks to me like it is going to involve laser
irradiation. This expectation goes well beyond the work of Holmlid -
which begs to be replicated. There is no indication that anyone who is
well-funded is even attempting replication or their own experiments with
lasers, however. The hope is that there is work going on which is under
the radar despite a recent paper on a failure to replicate the
Letts/Cravens effect.
As it turns out, Graham Hubler (many years ago) was considered a leading
expert in pulsed laser deposition. He authored textbooks on the subject
back in the 1990s. He also teamed with Yan Kucherovon a number of
patents, and he too is an expert on pulsed lasers. There is no
indication that this expertise with lasers in being used presently, however.
With or without lasers, let's hope this effort bears fruit and turns a
bad year into a great vintage.
