Geert Vanden Bossche

Geert Vanden Bossche wrote that scientific quality should not be confused with the publication channel. According to him, peer review was important, but it no longer guaranteed reliability or infallibility. He stated that a hypothesis should be evaluated based on its scientific support, testability, and explanatory power, not on the prestige of the journal in which it appeared. #wetenschap #peerreview #publicaties (translated)

Geert Vanden Bossche wrote that he had decided to withdraw from public life. He considered his task largely fulfilled and felt called to give his life a new turn. In a contribution he described as a kind of farewell letter, he further explained his decision. He summarized it with the words: "The virus remains. The virologist departs." https://t.co/dKzr0yelxk #Afscheid #NieuweWending #Viroloog (translated)
