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.

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!

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

Interested in host-symbiont interdependence, eukaryogenesis, and evolutionary transitions in individuality? my first paper just came out! With @gokhalecs.bsky.social and Pete Czuppon, we study when & how individuality emerges in a host-endosymbiont collective doi.org/10.1086/737588 a short thread🧵:

figure 1 from https://doi.org/10.1086/737588 describing (a) our conceptualisation of an evolutionary transition in individuality, (b) an interpretation of the traits that we consider in our mathematical model, and (c) a graphical representation of the population dynamics in the model.
