Once again, it was clear what makes the DCCW special:
It is more than just a competition. It brings together students from biology, computer science, medicine, and business, fosters connections, and links student engagement with real-world applications in science and practice.

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!
Thank you all for making this such a fantastic event!!

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 ! 🎉
