Looking back on 2025, I’m proud of all we accomplished as a team. But more than that, I'm proud of the growth, the laughter, and the support we gave one another along the way.
Grateful for this team and a year of shared moments big and small.
Happy holidays from the Tian Lab 💜✨

We had such a great time celebrating Tian Lab student Nikki Tjahjono’s successful PhD defense last week!
Over the past six years, it has been a privilege to work with Nikki and watch her grow into an exceptional scientist, mentor, and community builder.
Congratulations, Dr. Tjahjono! 🎓🎉

Looking for a nice way to build team connection before the holiday? Our lab drew names (gift exchange style) & shared aloud why we're grateful for that teammate, what makes us proud of them & how they strengthen the team. Such a sweet, grounding moment. Highly recommend 💛🧠

This paper truly changed my life!!
“I will die on the hill that population coding is the relevant level of encoding information in the brain.” In the latest “This paper changed my life,” Nancy Padilla-Coreano discusses a paper on mixed selectivity neurons.

This paper changed my life: Nancy Padilla-Coreano on learning the value of population coding
The 2013 Nature paper by Mattia Rigotti and his colleagues revealed how mixed selectivity neurons—cells that are not selectively tuned to a stimulus—play a key role in cognition.

Published today in @nature.com, @adititm.bsky.social & researchers from the @brianhie.bsky.social lab report that the large-scale genomic model, Evo, is capable of using surrounding genomic context to produce novel, functional genes, enabling an an emergent approach they've termed 'semantic design'.

Do you know what snail shells & teeth have in common? 🐌🦷
They both grow in distinct layers! Snail shells add spiral layers as they age, much like how our teeth show incremental layers of enamel...
