Can we predict a thought before it happens?
To know what one neuron will do next, you have to know what the entire brain is doing right now.
In our latest @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social Deeper Learning blog, @duranrin.bsky.social introduces POCO, a tool paving the way for adaptive neurotechnology.
Finding one mutation that improves a protein is hard. Finding five that work together is exponentially harder.
Today in @science.org, Hsu and Konermann labs present MULTI-evolve, a lab-in-the-loop framework that does it in just one machine learning-guided round.
Same task, different strategy ↔️
Why do identical neural network models develop separate internal approaches to solve the same problem?
@annhuang42.bsky.social explores the factors driving variability in task-trained networks in our latest @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social Deeper Learning blog.
A reminder that applications close Friday, Feb 27 for the Arc AIxBio Fellows Program.
Undergrads: propose and run your own AI + biology research project over 6–12 months, with mentorship from Arc scientists. Apply solo or as a team of 2–3.

I recently spoke at Morehouse School of Medicine's Curtis L. Parker Student Research Symposium and came away inspired & uplifted by the incredible work these students & postdocs are doing ⚕️
To all the talented trainees at Morehouse: keep up the great work. You will make a tremendous impact!
Most drug discovery starts with a disease & searches for a cure. New research out in Cell from Arc investigator Isha Jain’s lab flips this model, starting with a potential cure (vitamins) & systematically identifying which diseases it could treat.

The biggest problem holding neuroscience back right now isn’t data or tools, thanks in large part to the BRAIN Initiative.
It’s fragmentation across species. I wrote this to hopefully spark discussion around an issue that can only be solved as a community👇
www.thetransmitter.org/animal-model...
Yes! Let's have more discussion about the big things holding back neurosci so we can rally to find solutions.
I agree with @suthanalab.bsky.social that silos across species in both measures and the uptake of results into theories is on the "big problems" short list.
What do you see as solutions?
There’s still time to apply for #OptoGRC2026! 🙌

Thanks to Ladan Jiracek for having me on the Neural Implant Podcast!
We discussed how clinical neuroscience is combining high-resolution brain recordings with sophisticated behavioral studies to provide a truly comprehensive characterization of the human brain.

Catch our CEO @caitvw.bsky.social at @acnporg.bsky.social next week!
Her Special Topics Session will tackle #SciComm in an era of misinformation with Yasmin Hurd @neurovoice.bsky.social & Lana Ruvolo Grasser 📢🧪
Caitlin will be at ACNP all week so email her to connect: caitlin@stellatecomms.com
We're thrilled to share that Clare Reynell, PhD has been promoted to Senior Account Supervisor at Stellate in recognition of her steady & trusted leadership on several of our most high-profile accounts!
Congrats on the much-deserved advancement— we’re excited for what’s ahead 💜
Today, we welcome Megan van Overbeek as our first Chief Scientific Officer.
At Arc, she'll drive the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies for complex diseases, bringing expertise that bridges fundamental research with therapeutic development.
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 💛🧠
