How did the Coronavirus influence research?
Listen now
Description
During the Corona pandemic, half a million researchers from more than 170 different fields published articles about the virus or the COVID-19 disease. Many of them were not really virus-experts, even automobile researchers published about Corona. In the new episode of the BIH-podcast, John Ioannidis, famous meta-researcher from Stanford and Berlin, reflects about research integrity, transparency and sustainability of research results published in preprints, peer reviewed papers or social media. His resume is clear: Not all results were fantastic and led to a new vaccine, but it was an exciting experiment for Science and the learning experience was tremendous! And he is still convinced: Science is the best thing that has happened to humans.
