A phantastic idea by Lisa deBruine – a Rosling type plots which look very much like a negative association.
Take care – category joke here.
This article won’t change your mind
I remember looking at her and thinking, ‘She’s totally lying.’ At the same time, I remember something in my mind saying, ‘And that doesn’t matter.’
Don’t miss Werner Herzog…
Charles Day in Physics Today (which is already my view in biomedicine 5 years ago)
Their main conclusion is sobering: As the number of papers in a field increases, researchers find it harder to recognize innovative work. Progress seems to be slowing.
Das LJ Editorial zitiert Charlton’s “Why modern scientists are so dull”
Auf jeder Stufe von Ausbildung und Karriere gibt es die Tendenz, wirklich schlaue und kreative Menschen auszuschließen, indem man vor allem gewissenhafte und kontaktfähige Leute vorzieht. In dem Maße, in dem Wissenschaft immer stärker durch Peer-Review-Mechanismen dominiert wird, erlangt der pro-soziale und konsensfähige Forscher immer mehr Vorrang vor dem brillanten und inspirierten – oft aber auch schroffen und rebellischen – Typ des Wahrheitssuchers, der früher unter den besten Wissenschaftlern so weit verbreitet war.
cum grano salis… denn es sind nicht vor allem die gewissenhaften sondern die gewissenlosen. .. Die Empfehlung im Original
A further vital ingredient is therefore necessary: devotion to the transcendental value of Truth. Elite revolutionary science should therefore be a place that welcomes brilliant, impulsive, inspired, antisocial oddballs – so long as they are also dedicated truth-seekers.
Yea, yea.
It is incredible – but probably some kind of advanced fee scam only.
500€ would be clear bargain compared to the 9500€ that you have to pay here
although there is a surplus of 6000€ for the science writer at fiverr and another 50,000€ lab funding to one of the numerous “science charities” and “patient alliances”.
I have been asked why allergy research is so much dominated by quack research with an obsession to strange research areas like risk by use of toilet paper or protection by cow shit .
I don’t know the answer. Maybe every “researcher” can immediately get a paper published?
The field has been spoiled since I worked in this area – here is a never retracted paper on the effect of molecules in water below the Avogadro limit…

When Bohr bemoaned to Ernest Rutherford, “Dirac never says anything,” Rutherford replied with a story about a shop owner assuaging a dissatisfied customer who had purchased a parrot that would not speak. “Please forgive me. You wanted a parrot that talks, and I gave you the parrot that thinks.”
Wouldn’t pay 20 bucks for Mullis while 40 for Brenner is ok
My Life in Science
Sydney Brenner
BioMed Central: 2001. 191 pp. £14.99
“In April and May of 1994, Sydney Brenner sat down in front of a video camera and talked to Lewis Wolpert, recording enough to fill 15 videotapes. Errol Friedberg and Eleanor Lawrence have taken sections from the transcript of the interviews and woven them, with linking and explanatory passages added by Friedberg, into My Life in Science, an ‘autobiography’ of Brenner’s more than 50 years of research.”
Heute in der Corona Vorlesung der LMU / Armin Nassehi aus dem Gedächtnis zitiert, der genaue Wortlaut folgt
Häufig wurde der Wissenschaft zu Beginn der Corona Krise Unwissenheit vorgeworfen was wiederum auf Unwissenheit der anderen Seite schliessen liess
