I recently received two PayPal donations. It's still a bit surreal for me, but a heartfelt thank you.

An online version of a presentation I did a while ago — this version is in broken English. Probably doing another take with less accent, more clarity.

Throwing the first stone …

2017-01-04 | Reading time: 3 minutes

Stumbled upon a comment on Retraction Watch about throwing the first stone when it comes to talking about/dealing with mistakes and misconduct in science. I spend some minutes writing a reply, but given that the original comment was deleted the reply is back in moderation (and likely lost now). So I put it up here, because the comment (while crude) has its merits: How can you criticize something when you have made mistakes yourself? The short answer: Very well, thank you.

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.
