Schneider Shorts 28.10.2022 – the indisputable scientific quality of a Dutch harasser, a jailed rapist professor in Belgium, misconduct allegations in Sweden, a petit French cock croaking, plus some retractions, stem cell quacks, and an Arte documentary uncovering a horrendous COVID-19 conspiracy!
Svante Pääbo, the father of paleogenomics, went funny before his Nobel Prize.
