Schneider Shorts 21.04.2023 – due diligence in Germany, cancer biotech bonanza in USA, python expert in Iran, highly cited researchers in Spain, English professor in russia, Italian fraudster in an unexpected company, with eugenics, racism and war-mongering, and finally, why a papermill fabrication can’t be retracted.

“He has embarked on a path of
unacceptable slander, not only against me, but also against my colleagues
