From a Twitter research project to an independent rival — Bluesky’s journey under CEO Jay Graber shows how a decentralized, user-first platform gained millions users by prioritizing control & openness in social media. A true alternative in a billionaire-dominated space. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/b...
Bluesky CEO: I turned a Twitter research project into a rival company—'we've achieved what a lot of people said was impossible'
Under CEO Jay Graber, social media company Bluesky has grown to 38 million registered users while weathering large-scale challenges over the past few years.

I was asked an interesting question at a (worky/networky) dinner this week. "What percentage of the human proteome has experimentally determined structures?" - Do you know the answer off the top of your head?

That’s a wrap on the 2025 Cold Spring Harbor CryoEM course! Huge thanks to the amazing students for your enthusiasm, the TAs for your dedication, and the invited lecturers for sharing your expertise. Keep pushing the boundaries of single particle EM - excited to see what you all accomplish next!
