Alle zusammen waren eine tolle Führungsgruppe über die letzten Jahre, Danke dafür. Auch einen lieben Dank für das nahezu klassische Abschiedsgeschenk für uns in der Virologie

The CNRS is breaking free from the Web of Science www.cnrs.fr/en/update/cn...

In favour of qualitative evaluation

The use of impact factors in the evaluation of researchers has contributed to the distortion of scientific publishing practices and, in turn, of research practices. Alain Schuhl, the CNRS's Deputy CEO for Science (DGDS), explains that "for too long now, research has been trapped by indicators that actually have nothing to do with the intrinsic quality of the scientific advances set out in a publication". The DGDS considers that dictating the rules of the game for the assessment of researchers by defining the prestige and attractiveness of journals is "a reductive view of science that we should no longer be condoning. This means we have to take action now to guarantee the quality and the ethics of the research assessment system".

Goblet-like cells remind me of the islands of dispare and death that are Calu3 cells. All people who worked with SARS-CoV-2 will understand.

Good to see fact checks directly on the video of a non-live programme, rather than leaving anything and everything stand unchallenged. Should be an example for the countless German talk show formats as well

To underline the statement, let's see what the CDC says. Yes, guess measles in the US can be seen as "unusual". Even more so, with vaccines available unnecessary

Würde Herrn Kleinschnitz einen Sprung in die Literatur empfehlen, Fortbildungsangebote wahrzunehmen und ansonsten in Sozialen Medien mit Unwissen eine kleine Spur leiser aufzutreten. Als Beispiel: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
