I communicated with the student a month ago.

He did not tell me anything about the 2016 date (I just got that from the article posted before I mentioned him). The only info that he was able to give me was the fact that he is a student of Dr. Sam Hudson, an NC State professor who worked with Nexia Biotechnologies back in the day and is now on the Bolt Threads Scientific Advisory Board. He apparently mentions Bolt Threads in class quite a bit and that is how he knew that they were using transgenic Yeast and a controlled drawing technique to give the silk better mechanical properties. He did state that he thinks that they will eventually have properties equivalent to natural dragline silk, but made it seem like they are not quite there yet.

I don’t deny that there may have been delays in their production, but I haven’t found anything that states anything either way other than a website that has not changed other than the job postings. I do know that they recently inaugurated their “completed space” as of April 30, but what that means, I am unsure.
