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.

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 ! 🎉

Thanks a lot @hyejinpark.bsky.social , @elibbyscience.bsky.social and @llizana.bsky.social for organising such an amazing meeting in the Arctic on Adaptive Mechanisms! It was brilliant to be a part of the superb program! Thank you!
A brilliant performance today by @vkulkarni.bsky.social from the group of Sylvia Cremer clearing her qualifying exam
@istaresearch.bsky.social. I’m very excited to work with her in the future combining theory and experiments in social immunity.
We wish you a very happy, new, healthy, and productive 2026!! Looking forward to all the exciting science in store!
