Spent yesterday at @defcon.bsky.social Meets Munich Cyber Security Conference (#mcsc2026) here in Munich, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Not just about what AI can do, but how it is shifting the relationship between understanding and action.

Congratulations to PhD student @alycolumbus.bsky.social who has received one of the 2025 Teaching Assistant Recognition Awards! This award honors teaching assistants who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and excellence in their role, going far beyond standard expectations.
I'm excited to see that @jhubiostat.bsky.social created a starter pack for members and alumni of this historical department Help us spread the word around to get more members and alumni on it! 🙌🏽 #AcademicSky #Biostats #Biostatistics go.bsky.app/T6DV4MQ
Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.
All - Bluesky Directory
A curated collection of all things relating to the Blue Sky social media platform.
