New publication! @taracdelorme.bsky.social

Excited to share that I landed my dream job!🎉🎉🎉 The Pennington Lab will be opening at the University of British Columbia in January 2026!
@ubcpsych.bsky.social @dmcbrainhealth.bsky.social

Happy to share that our Comprehensive Adolescent Rehabilitation and Education Service (CARES) is now in a new location where we're better equipped to help youth facing mental health and substance use challenges.

Congratulations to the team, and special shout out to CARES Director, Shilpa Taufique 🎉

In another preprint from the @brianhie.bsky.social Lab and @synbiogaolab.bsky.social, they introduce Germinal, a generative AI system for de novo antibody design.

Germinal produces functional nanobodies in just dozens of tests, making custom antibody design more accessible than ever before.

For decades, human genome editing has been limited to small, localized modifications.

Today, in a new paper published in @science.org , researchers from Arc's Hsu lab show that bridge recombinase technology is capable of large-scale genomic rearrangements in human cells.

I left the 2025 @onemindorg.bsky.social music festival feeling inspired by the advances in mental health research and awareness that, together, are cracking the future of care wide open.

Proud to be part of this community alongside peers like @maryamshanechi.bsky.social & @claudialugo.bsky.social!

Ohhh! I have this! I had no idea there was a name for it.

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered Trump to restore $500 million in frozen UCLA NIH grants. The same judge, Rita F. Lin, previously ordered all UCLA NSF grants reinstated. Lin has now nearly entirely reversed Trump's July de-funding of UCLA research: www.latimes.com/california/s...

It's been an honor for @stellatecomms.bsky.social to support this program over the past year, working with each Ambassador to hone their #SciComm skills & advance a project of their choosing.

Watch out for this next generation! They are going to have a BIG impact on this world! 🌍

✨ @cardsagainsthumanity.com just launched its 2026 Ambassador Scholarship: five $20K tuition scholarships to UG women & non-binary students in STEM!

Applications close Monday, December 15: scienceambassadorscholarship.org

Thinking about attending Sunposium 2026? The early bird registration deadline is September 19th. Curious what makes this conference so special? Our video will give you a glimpse: buff.ly/2FuGjgO Join us March 9–11, 2026, in sunny South Florida. Find more information at buff.ly/zn5aS2b

This week is the 16th Annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week, and we couldn't be prouder of our postdocs in the Tian Lab! ✨

Our postdocs drive forward research, plan and lead projects, mentor students, present and publish work, and much more. I am grateful for you every day!

#NPAW2025

It's grant season & @stellatecomms.bsky.social just passed a major milestone: $50M+ in funding for our clients ✨

We've supported 108 submissions (41% success; 14 pending) to the NIH, NSF & leading foundations.

We have a few more project openings this Fall 📩 Email us: [email protected]

One of the coolest things about working at @stellatecomms.bsky.social is getting to work with an incredible team of designers who really understand how to bring science communication to life ✨ 🎬

Welcome to our third Science Fellow, Maya Arce (@mayaarce.bsky.social). Her team uses large-scale genomic screening and CRISPR editing to decode how genetic regulators control immune cell behavior.

In a new preprint from @brianhie.bsky.social's lab, the team reports the first generative design of viable bacteriophage genomes.

Leveraging Evo 1 & Evo 2, they generated whole genome sequences, resulting in 16 viable phages with distinct genomic architectures.

Genome foundation models, Evo 1 and Evo 2, have now generated viable bacteriophage genomes, demonstrating experimental validation of whole genomes designed by AI!

(1/8) New paper from our team!

Yu Duan & Hamza Chaudhry introduce POCO, a tool for predicting brain activity at the cellular & network level during spontaneous behavior.

Find out how we built POCO & how it changes neurobehavioral research 👇

Brilliant piece by @mattperich.bsky.social on neural manifolds 🌟

His ‪essay in @thetransmitter.bsky.social shows how this view changes the game in computational neuroscience, reproducing behavioral flexibility within finite neural constraints 🧠

(1/7) New preprint from Rajan lab! 🧠🤖
@ryanpaulbadman1.bsky.social & Riley Simmons-Edler show–through cog sci, neuro & ethology–how an AI agent with fewer ‘neurons’ than an insect can forage, find safety & dodge predators in a virtual world. Here's what we built
