The Data Crunch Cup Würzburg has come to a successful close. The winners received their prizes, and with pizza and lively conversation, the evening turned into a real highlight of the semester. A heartfelt thank you to all participants, partners, and supporters who make this competition possible.

Interested in a postdoc in one of our groups at the @cctb-wue.bsky.social ? The Marie Skłodowska Curie fellowships are open for applications!

Today's the Hubland Nord Bio Day! The biology research groups at the Hubland Nord campus are coming together to present their research projects and exchange ideas!

The 6th Data Crunch Cup Würzburg is coming up! For 7 days, starting March 23, 2026 at 8 am, you can solve exciting challenges in biology, computer science, and data science to win prizes! Register now at DCCW.de! #bioinformatics #cctb #datascience #universitätwürzburg #fibio

Today we have Yuriy Pichugin visiting us from the @mpi-evolbio.bsky.social discussing the Evolution of informed dispersal strategies in trophic meta-communities in our #WueBiT seminars

Ascona workshop "Statistical and AI methods for multi-modal multi-scale modeling of biological systems", 28 June - 3 July. Deadline for registration Mon 16 March, 23:59 CET. There are ~10-12 places left.

For many animals, adaptation means survival. In order to learn with minimal risk, some species use safe spaces. @gokhalecs.bsky.social and Dharanish Rajendra describe the math behind this behaviour in the latest edition of @royalsocietypublishing.org. ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...

Play isn’t only fun… it’s preparation for danger! Our new paper by @DharanishR in @royalsociety.org shows how protected juvenile environments boost #learning of risky behaviours via a protected early life period across some species. 🦂🦁 tinyurl.com/3w45xvz9 @cctb-wue.bsky.social @uni-wuerzburg.de

Thrilled to share our new paper with the brilliant @srishtipatil.bsky.social & @sabinenoebel.bsky.social ! 🎉 Can mate copying maintain phenotypic diversity with multiple male options to choose from? find out @ doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @dkfz.bsky.social @unihalle.bsky.social @cctb-wue.bsky.social
