After the death of a scientist at a plague research center in Siberia, there is speculation about possible military biological weapons deployments, but Colonel Martin Weiler currently sees no evidence for this and emphasizes the difficulties in the control regime of the Biological Weapons Convention. #Pest #Biowaffen #Sibirien (translated)

Following the death of a scientist at a plague research center in Siberia, there are speculations about a possible use of the plague as a biological weapon; however, according to Colonel Martin Weiler from the Bundesheer's ABC defense center, there are no signs of this, and research on pathogens remains problematic due to the lack of a control regime under the Biological Weapons Convention. #Biowaffen #Pest #Russland (translated)

Felix Perrefort wrote that plagiarism problems among politicians arise because they write dissertations mainly to enhance their resumes and often lack a serious research interest. Such works are often difficult to read and are rarely read outside of assessments; instead of demonstrating their own intellectual achievements, they convey an appearance of scholarly merit. According to Perrefort, only those who truly want to discover something new should write a dissertation. Only people who want to fully dedicate themselves to science should strive for a doctorate. He described it as indecent to present others with 200 to 400-page texts that are merely obligatory exercises and therefore insignificant. Perrefort questioned which politicians felt the need to profile themselves with a doctoral thesis. He described them as career politicians without a "solid foundation of an acquired profession" and wrote that they neither mastered politics nor science. Mario Voigt embodies this problem particularly strongly, Perrefort claimed, accusing him of being unable to say anything about Auschwitz without AI and of lacking independent thoughts. #Plagiat #Doktortitel #Wissenschaft (translated)

The X-Account Punkt.PRERADOVIC presented a compilation on the topic of medical corruption. Corona has shown that it is usually not about medicine, science, or people, but about money, the account wrote. For maximum profit, the powerful pharmaceutical industry knows no bounds, it continued. https://t.co/tv4stTrydx #Medizin #Korruption #Pharma #DE #AT #CH (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf wrote that Henri Kagan received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2026 at the age of 95. As a Jewish boy, he lived with his family under a false name in France during World War II. Kagan shared the award with Japanese professor Kenso Soai. Both were recognized for their work on mirror-image molecules, which Goldstein-Wolf stated have contributed to the safer and more precise production of medications. #Nobelpreis #Chemie #Wissenschaft (translated)

The author wrote that Mario Voigt would soon no longer hold the doctorate title with legal validity and had given up his professorship at Quadriga University. The university had previously touted him as an outstanding expert on its website. Voigt's doctoral advisor Eckhard had been referred to as an "extremism researcher"; the author expressed disdain for this designation. #Wissenschaft #Hochschule #Akademia #DE (translated)
