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.
