Manchmal gehört auch Glück dazu: Stephanie Döpper @archaeoman.bsky.social ist Expertin für Vorderasiatische Archäologie. Bei einer Exkursion im Oman stolperte sie über ein 4000 Jahre altes Objekt. Dabei hatte sie eigentlich keine Ausgrabungen geplant. 📷 Marcel Juhas ➡️ go.uniwue.de/oman
Heute hat der @bundestag.de beschlossen: #Kindergeld gibt es zukünftig ohne Antrag. Was das bedeutet, haben drei Wirtschaftswissenschaftler berechnet: 80 Prozent weniger Zeitaufwand und deutlich weniger Stress. ➡️ go.uniwue.de/kindergeld
Forschende der Universität Würzburg entwickeln ein KI-System, das Satellitenbilder bereits im Weltraum auswertet. Dort soll es sich nachträglich sogar an neue Aufgaben anpassen lassen – etwa zum Schutz gegen Naturkatastrophen. ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/aktuelles/ei...
Great news: Researchers at JMU have been very successful in securing funding for new research groups from the German Research Foundation @dfg.de Congratulations to everyone involved! ➡️ go.uniwue.de/new-rsg-2026
Carpenter #ants amputate the injured legs of fellow ants to minimise the risk of infection. But who does this job? A team of #researchers showed it's a task primarily carried out by ants who switch from indoor to outdoor duties. 🐜🏥 ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-... 📸 Bart Zijlstra
Another paper by @irinadudanova.bsky.social, once again on Huntington's disease. Her new study shows that activating specific neurons improves movement in a Huntington’s disease model - pointing toward future therapies. 🧠💡 #Neuroscience #Medicine 📷 Sonja Blumenstock ➡️ go.uniwue.de/huntington
Spiders prefer dense forests 🕷️🌲 A University of Würzburg study @animalecology.bsky.social shows: more forest gaps don’t mean more diversity—spider diversity actually drops. The reason: the missing canopy as key habitat. #forest #biodiversity 📷: Louis Puille ➡️ go.uniwue.de/animal-ecology
New hope for Huntington’s 🧠: A drug reduces harmful protein clumps and improves movement & lifespan in mice and human cells. New paper @embomolmed.org by @irinadudanova.bsky.social . #Huntingtons @mpi-nat.bsky.social ➡️ go.uniwue.de/dudanova-embo 📷 Miguel da Silva Padilha
Congratulations! The university’s runners who took part in yesterday’s WVV Company Run despite the sweltering heat were brilliant: the JMU team is in first place in the team rankings! Two students were incredibly fast. See more ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...
🎓A new Master’s programme at the University of Würzburg, starting next winter semester, combines content from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences: Environmental Humanities offers interdisciplinary and diverse approaches. @eh-wuerzburg.bsky.social ➡️ go.uniwue.de/master-envir...
Plant hormones in the human body? 🌱🧬 Researchers from the University of Würzburg show these molecules are present in humans - shaped by diet & gut microbes. This could help us better understand diseases. #Science #Health #Gut Microbes ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...
Study Reveals Plant Hormones as a Fundamental Part of Mammalian Physiology
A new drug candidate has been shown to alleviate symptoms of Huntington's disease and extend lifespan – at least in animal studies. There is some evidence to suggest that these results may also apply ...
