Graphic announcing the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 call. It shows the opening date (9 April 2026), closing date (9 September 2026), and a budget of €399.05 million. The design features scientific visuals such as cells, a leaf, and lab elements on a dark background, with the European Commission logo at the bottom.

Big opportunities for researchers 🌍

We are investing nearly €400 million to help researchers share their work and collaborate with the best scientific teams across the EU.

The 2026 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships are now open.

Fantastic double feature seminar today by @sabinenoebel.bsky.social on tradition, culture and mate copying in #drosophila and a superb theory study of the same by @srishtipatil.bsky.social ! It’s been a pleasure hosting you both here @cctb-wue.bsky.social @uni-wuerzburg.de

Tomorrow I will give a joint talk with @srishtipatil.bsky.social at the @uni-wuerzburg.de to present our joint work with @gokhalecs.bsky.social just published in @pnas.org

@plosbiology.org is formalizing its long‑standing practice of asking authors to share research code, introducing a mandatory #code‑sharing policy and clarifying what is meant by code sharing.

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

It was only possible because of the briliant push by @srishtipatil.bsky.social !

Thrilled to share our new paper with the brilliant @srishtipatil.bsky.social & @sabinenoebel.bsky.social ! 🎉
