@thetransmitter's portrait of the state of neuroscience presents a great opportunity to look back and reflect as we come toward the end of 2025. I'm quoted alongside leaders in the field as we reflect on the current challenges & our hopes for the future: thetransmitter.org/state-of-neuro…

Thanks to @DianaMKwon & @Nature for featuring our work in this piece on genetically-encoded sensors.

The article does a great job highlighting their importance for both basic research and translational impact, such as in our lab's research on serotonin.

The Tian Lab is headed to San Diego for #Sfn25!

Proud to have Postbac Fellow, @landondlee representing us this year––if you’re attending, be sure to stop by his poster to hear more about the science we've been developing this year! ☀️🧠

How has the way we study neural coding and dynamics changed?

At the recent @LakeConferences hosted by @AllenInstitute I was able to share ideas and research with others working toward new experimental & computational methods for studying these dynamic systems over time.
