Wenn einem das Wort "Diskursverschiebung" zu abstrakt ist: Das ist, wenn man sich George W. Bush wegen seines Intellekts und seiner Eloquenz als US-Präsidenten zurückwünscht, oder den hoch-integren Joseph Blatter als FIFA-Boss.

Harald zur Hausens Forschung legte den Grundstein für die HPV-Impfung. Fast 20 Jahre nach seinem Nobelpreis ist die HPV-Impfquote in Deutschland noch immer zu niedrig – dabei könnten HPV-assoziierte Krebserkrankungen weitgehend verhindert werden. 👇 www.tagesschau.de/wissen/gesun... (HMB)

Hi @gromesroland.bsky.social - kannst du uns erklären, wie Mauersegler auskundschaften, wo es gute Nistmöglichkeit gibt? Bei uns unterm Dach: der Spalt ist so super eng, und Mauersegler können ja nicht wirklich landen. Wie zum Geier wissen die, hinter welcher Minispalte sich ein Hohlraum befindet?!
This is what makes it art: '(...) the publisher posted a blank white page with the cryptic phrase, “This article has been withdrawn due to article violation.” Springer Nature is nevertheless still selling the empty PDF for $39.95.' www.science.org/content/arti...
Why have papers by one of history’s most famous physicists been retracted?
Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck. A bot may be to blame

Measles vaccines save millions of lives each year. Measles used to be an extremely common disease. Just sixty years ago, over 90% of children would have been infected by it, and of those who developed symptoms, around a quarter would be hospitalized.

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures" but their own internal data.
