In this talk I will outline some computations and applications involving Khovanov and Lee skein lasagna modules, including the detection of some exotic pairs of 4-manifolds. This work is joint with Qiuyu Ren. If time allows I will also discuss a new version of the lasagna module which should ease the computational complexity for manifolds with 1-handles. This work is joint with Qiuyu Ren, Ian Sullivan, Paul Wedrich, and Melissa Zhang.
