Bundesforschungsministerin Dorothee Bär legte Brosius-Gersdorf nahe, ihre Kandidatur zu überdenken. "Wir haben lauter mündige Abgeordnete, und wenn die sagen, ich kann mit meinem Gewissen Frau Brosius-Gersdorf nicht wählen, dann akzeptiere ich das, dann respektiere ich es und dann erwarte ich aber auch von der Kandidatin, dass sie mal für sich selbst überlegt, ob sie die Richtige ist", sagte die CSU-Politikerin in der ARD-Talkshow Maischberger.

Man tue Frauen keinen Gefallen, wenn man sich nicht mit ihren Inhalten auseinandersetzen dürfe, sagte Bär weiter. Sie erwarte zudem "ein bisschen Resilienz" und "dass man auch kritikfähig sein muss", wenn man "sich ins höchste deutsche Gericht wählen lassen möchte". Zuvor

• What is the future of quantitative methodology in English linguistics?
Special focus is given to a discussion on what has changed over the past 40 years and what issues have arisen from using quantitative methods.
