Dear NFDI lifescience Community,
de.NBI & ELIXIR Germany<https://www.denbi.de/> and GHGA<http://www.ghga.de/> (The German Human Genome Phenome Archive) is inviting you to the next episode of our joint Webinar Series: Beginners guide of data processing for image-based spatial transcriptomics technologies.
This webinar is intended for researchers who are new to the field of spatial transcriptomics. It provides an introduction to commonly used image-based spatial omics technologies and demonstrates the data processing workflow through a practical example. The webinar will focus primarily on data preprocessing steps and will only briefly touch upon downstream analyses such as domain detection.
The webinar will be held by Florian Heyl from DKFZ Heidelberg (GHGA).
The event is in English, it takes approx. 60 minutes and will be held on 20th November 2025, 13:00 CET. Attendance is free, but we ask for registration.<https://dkfz-de.zoom.us/meeting/register/PfYv-8ySTn-_UfIUhlVfmg#/registrati…>

Dear colleague,
I would like to invite you to the upcoming WiNoDa<https://winoda.de/en/english/> <https://winoda.de/en/english/> webinar “Leverage the growing wave of ecological data using AI image recognition”, taking place on December 2nd at 1pm (CET) on Zoom.
[cid:6dc5db6b-37cc-4c40-9e17-06a00ed092cd]
Camera traps and other autonomous sensors are generating more wildlife data than ever before. This has enormous potential to extract valuable information, but manually sorting through such datasets is often too time- and resource-intensive.
Artificial Intelligence can speed up this work by automatically classifying large volumes of information in minutes. Yet AI is not perfect: miss-classifications can easily distort downstream ecological insights if not handled correctly.
Join the webinar with Timm Haucke<https://timm.haucke.xyz/> from MIT to learn how to apply AI carefully in your research. You will discover:
*
How to run and evaluate AI models on your own ecological data
*
How to reduce the impact of classification errors on your analyses
*
A practical workflow for fitting species occupancy models using AI-generated labels from a real camera trap dataset
Designed for ecologists and biodiversity scientists seeking efficient and reliable ways to process sensor-derived data. Learn how to transform raw data into trustworthy ecological knowledge.
The event is free, in English and online. Register here and secure your spot: LINK<https://winoda.de/en/event/webinar-ecological-data-ai-image-recognition/>.
We hope to see you there!

Dear all,
We cordially invite you to the *NFDI4Earth Academy Coffee lecture -
"Scale Usually Wins: compute, data, and the bitter lesson for Earth &
industry"* (/Artemii Novoselov, Stripe/) *today*.
We’ll unpack the evidence behind scaling laws - Kaplan et al. (loss vs
params/tokens/compute) and Chinchilla (data-optimal scaling) - then test
the thesis in Earth-system modeling and geoscience. We’ll compare
academic incentives (benchmarks, novelty) to production constraints
(latency/$, throughput, drift, governance), and show where small,
specialized models still win. Case studies will include Earth
foundation/forecast models such as GraphCast, and AlphaEarth. We’ll
close with a pragmatic budgeting recipe: choose your token-to-parameter
target, plan for quantization/distillation, and align eval to mission
metrics.
*Key Details*:
Date: November 04, 2025
Time: 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Venue: Online via Zoom
The lecture is open to all. To join the lecture, *please register* here

Liebe Alle,
der Survivalguide for Law and Ethics in Research von FAIRagro, NFDI4Biodiversity und NFDI4Earth geht in die nächste Runde!
Unsere nächste Episode trägt den Titel: "Die Lizenz zum Forschen: Wem gehören Forschungsdaten und was darf ich damit tun?"
Von Messwerten im Feld über komplexe Modellierungen bis hin zur Textpublikation - Forschungsdaten in der Agrosystem-, Erdsystem und Umweltforschung sind divers und oft das Herzstück eines Projekts. Doch wer hat hieran eigentlich Rechte und wie darf ich sie teilen und nachnutzen?
Taucht in unserem dreitägigen Workshop ein in die Welt von Urheberrecht, Lizenzen und Gemeinfreiheit. Erhaltet eine verständliche und praxisnahe Erklärung, wann Forschungsdaten urheberrechtlich geschützt sind und welche Lizenzsysteme - von Creative Commons bis zu speziellen Softwarelizenzen - in der Forschung sinnvoll eingesetzt werden können. Entdeckt über das Urheberrecht hinaus eine Verbündete in der Guten Wissenschaftlichen Praxis.
Übt anhand realer Beispiele, Lizenztexte zu verstehen, passende Lizenzen und public domain marks zu vergeben, um rechtliche Fallstricke zu vermeiden.
Mit einer Mischung aus Impulsen, Diskussionen und praktischen Übungen vermittelt der Workshop das nötige Rüstzeug, um Daten rechtlich fundiert, verantwortungsvoll und zugleich offen zu nutzen und zu teilen.
Der Workshop findet in deutscher Sprache statt und richtet sich an Forschende der Agrosystems-, Umwelt-, Biodiversitäts- und Erdsystemwissenschaften.

INFORMATION. WISSEN. LEBEN.
Dear all,
We cordially invite you to the *NFDI4Earth Academy Coffee lecture -
"From basin to canopy: modern ML applications across geoscience
modalities"* (/Artemii Novoselov, Stripe/) *next Tuesday*.
Geoscience is a buffet of data modalities - seismic cubes, SAR/optical
satellite stacks, LiDAR DEMs, well logs, and more. This talk is an
application-first tour of methods that made previously impossible things
routine: discovery of hundreds of new Nazca geoglyphs; automatic mapping
of ancient structures in jungle LiDAR; diffusion-based cloud removal and
super-resolution for multispectral imagery; and fast surrogates for
seismic simulation and inversion. For each vignette, we’ll pair the task
(segmentation, denoising, inversion, super-res, change detection,
embeddings, forecasting, surrogate modeling, UQ) with the method that
worked in practice - Transformers, U-Nets, diffusion, and neural
operators - plus open datasets and reproducible baselines. You’ll leave
with a pragmatic playbook: how to pick models by modality and task,
evaluate properly, and avoid common pitfalls in geospatial ML.
*Key Details*:
Date: October 28, 2025
Time: 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM

Dear microbiome research enthusiasts and bioinformatics aficionados,
curious about smoother microbiome research? Grab your coffee and join us online!
Reproducible, easily shareable workflows are essential for bioinformatics. This holds true for all areas of bioinformatics research, including microbiome research. To facilitate the centralized collection of high-quality Nextflow workflows, nf-core was established with strong involvement from the Quantitative Biology Center (QBiC) core facility. These workflows are used, extended, and improved by a large community in a standardized manner, making a wide range of bioinformatics analyses more accessible and easier to execute than ever before. This presentation will introduce QBiC, discuss some challenges faced, and present examples of solutions, with a focus on data analysis.
📢 NFDI4Microbiota Coffee Talk: Meta-omics Analysis at a Bioinformatics Core Facility – As FAIR as Possible

Einladung zur Vorstellung des GFBio Data Submission und Brokerage Service
Wo und wie kann ich meine Forschungsdaten veröffentlichen?
Datenpublikation und -management sind entscheidende Bausteine einer offenen und FAIRen Biodiversitätsforschung. Doch wer als Wissenschaftler:in ihre/seine Daten veröffentlichen möchte, steht oft vor einigen Herausforderungen - angefangen bei der Auswahl des passenden Repositoriums über die Beschreibung der Daten bis hin zu Entscheidungen über Lizenzen und den Zeitpunkt der Freigabe. Hilfe für biologische, ökologische und Biodiversitätsdaten bietet der GFBio Data Submission and Brokerage Service (https://submissions.gfbio.org/), der Forschende Schritt für Schritt dabei unterstützt, Biodiversitätsdaten in den zehn disziplinspezifischen Datenzentren des GFBio-Datenzentrennetzwerks zu veröffentlichen. Im kommenden BiodiversiTea werfen wir einen Blick auf den Dienst – und dabei auch auf geplante Neuerungen.
Wann und wo?
Dienstag, 21. Oktober 2025 | 11.00 - 12.00 Uhr | Online | Sprache: Deutsch
