A study out today in @natgenet.nature.com from Core Investigator Luke Gilbert, Haolong Li, & others identifies PTGES3 as a critical regulator of androgen receptor (AR) protein levels in prostate cancer, revealing a potential new target for tumors that become treatment-resistant.

What does "Human-centered neural engineering and AI" mean? It means prioritizing the patient across the entire pipeline: Discovery, Design, and Delivery of neuro-engineering treatments for psychiatric disorders. Join me to discuss at @embs.org #NER25 hosted by @onemindaccelerator.bsky.social

Big thanks to #ThinkeryATX Children's Museum for hosting us at their STEAM Sunday Halloween celebration! 🎃 We love connecting with families and future scientists while sharing what we do at the Preston Lab 🤘 #SciComm #AustinScience

@okaysteve.bsky.social chatted with @undark.org about how memories can heal the brain and his new book, How to Change a Memory (publishing 11/4). Check out the interview:

What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope! Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals. Read the paper here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (1/10)

PRESS RELEASE! @mountsinainyc.bsky.social receives $4.5 million @bipolardiscoveries.org grant! Led by @ignaciosaezphd.bsky.social, team will investigate neural mechanisms underlying #BipolarDisorder & pioneer novel neuromodulation-based treatment strategies 👉 www.mountsinai.org/about/newsro...

How mood states shift in the brain remains one of psychiatry’s biggest mysteries. With generous support from @bipolardiscoveries.org, our @sinaibrain.bsky.social team will apply cutting-edge techniques to map these transitions—aiming to build the most precise understanding of bipolar disorder yet.

We are proud to award $18M to four new Discovery Research teams exploring neuromodulation and brain circuits in #Bipolar 🧠📈 🔗bit.ly/48M1TKP 🎙️ Hear from Daniel Pham, PhD, and the teams about their innovative projects 👇

Published today in @natureportfolio.nature.com Biotechnology, Laine Goudy, Luke Gilbert, Alex Marson, & colleagues report an epigenetic editing platform that safely reprograms multiple genes in human T cells without many of the challenges & risks associated with traditional gene editing approaches.

Arc Core Investigator @genophoria.bsky.social will speak on a free, online panel with @tkaraletsos.bsky.social, @emmalundberg.bsky.social, and @ronalfa.bsky.social on Wed., Oct. 29, as part of GENbio's “The State of AI in Drug Discovery in 2025.” Register at: webinars.liebertpub.com/e/the-state-...

The genetic code is full of synonymous codons that, for decades, were assumed to be interchangeable. Today, with NVIDIA, co-led by @genophoria.bsky.social, we announce CodonFM, a family of open-source AI models that reveal the grammar underlying codon choice: developer.nvidia.com/blog/introdu...

Remember when Paul Krugman’s columns were soooo wonky. “It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.” - Paul Krugman

One important part of The Dunn Lab culture is to spend time together outside the lab! It was so refreshing to be able to host a recent lab lunch for us to reconnect & share ideas in a different setting - always great for creativity ✨🧪

Looking forward to my CONNECT seminar on December 3, 2025! I’ll share my path from MIT PhD to founding @stellatecomms.bsky.social, and show how we use research, strategy & design to tell science stories ✨👩🏻‍🔬🧪 Learn more about the series, other speakers + register here: cnlm.uci.edu/connect/

Must-read #NYBCI25 coverage by @neurotechnology.substack.com in @forbes.com. My key takeaway on cognitive BCI: Our biggest limiting factor isn't tech—it's fundamental scientific understanding. We can’t advance the tech until we define the disorder. Basic research must lead the way!

The NIH institute director firing last Friday is very bad. I made a video explainer about why. Stay for last post, w link to @science.org story from @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social 1/4 🧪

I wrote an op-ed for the Washington Square News about the government's attempt to extort universities. nyunews.com/opinion/gues...

🧠🥼🧬🧪🔬 Last year at @sfn.org I ran a workshop on "Opening the File Drawer" with Ben Kolber, Stacey Winham, Paul Sternberg, & Alex Freeman (@alexandrafreeman.bsky.social). We've shared the resources that we compiled for that workshop in this new paper. ❤️ @comm4rigor.bsky.social @ummni.bsky.social

Sold out! Thanks for the love - I’ll be sure to post here too next time I have a release. (there are a few rainbow brains left in the shop from the last drop btw!)

A quick thread of some great Purdue representation sharing our amazing science at @ispg.bsky.social annual conference #WCPG2025! 🧬 🧠 🧪 First up: @ktnthompson.bsky.social presented work investigating whether family acceptance & belonging mitigate depression risk 👪

⚗️ @stellatecomms.bsky.social began with the idea that science deserves to be shared, understood & celebrated. This month we celebrate 5 years of Stellate! To my team: thank you for believing in this dream as much as I do. You’re the magic behind it all✨ www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU5P...

Congrats to Ann Huang for an excellent presentation at last week's @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social all-hands! 👏 Ann shared exciting updates about our InputDSA tool - more to come soon. Thrilled she had the chance to present to our engaged and supportive community.

🧪 Finally catching up on social after the summer and reflecting on my first time at the @iadr.bsky.social meeting! I had the pleasure of meeting @hlusko.bsky.social & listening to her keynote talk on decoding human evolutionary adaptation from teeth.

🧪 Grateful to @hlusko.bsky.social for inviting me to visit & give a talk at the National Human Evolution Research Centre @cenieh.bsky.social during my visit over the summer. Such a pleasure to meet the team, see their work & share my own! 🦷 🧬

I love learning about all the things kids do with their baby teeth! In Spain their tooth fairy is a mouse! Casa Museo del Ratón Pérez in Madrid is a hidden gem that shares the story of this folkloric character. 🦷 🐁

Big congrats to @intlbrainlab.bsky.social on two groundbreaking new papers! Based on the most comprehensive map of mouse brain activity yet, their findings show how decision-making is both widely distributed and shaped by past experience. Read more: www.thetransmitter.org/decision-mak...

"It takes a village!" and I'm incredibly grateful to be a part of this one. It was inspiring to witness the growing community driving cutting-edge #BCI research from the bench to real life at #NYBCI25 Here’s to building the future of #neurotechnology, together. 🧠⚡

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!
