“no further steps will be taken as a result.”
Schneider Shorts 19.04.2024 – Nobelist defended by fellow German man, two progeny sons of successful fathers, retractions for various Italian bigwigs, papermill fraud professionally corrected, with a neuroscience breakthrough only few people can master, censorship at a Dutch university, and finally, how to have more sex with Frontiers.
