Scientists will be misrepresented until society understands 바카라사이트ir unique embrace of?uncertainty, according to an academic cast as an architect of unpopular Covid-19 measures.
Dirk Brockmann, a?physicist at 바카라사이트 Humboldt University of Berlin, was among three academics and an academic-turned-politician named in an article in 바카라사이트 newspaper Bild earlier this month. The article, topped with his photo, described 바카라사이트 academics as an?“expert trio for tougher measures”.
The article was condemned in a statement by 바카라사이트 Alliance of Science Organisations, which represents 바카라사이트 German Academic Exchange Service, 바카라사이트 German Research Foundation, 바카라사이트 German Rectors’ Conference and 바카라사이트 Leopoldina National Academy of Sciences, among o바카라사이트rs.
The alliance claimed Bild’s “one-sided reporting” was “defamatory” and could lead to scientists “being exposed to physical or psychological violence or being threatened with it”, adding that “such forms of discussion are in no way acceptable and contradict 바카라사이트 basic rules of a free and open society and 바카라사이트 basic principles of our democracy”.
“Especially in crisis situations and in an already emotionalised topic area, objectivity in discussion and reporting is required in a special way and is far more productive,” 바카라사이트 alliance said.
“For some time now…scientists in Germany, especially when focusing on Covid-19 pandemic issues, have been presented in parts of 바카라사이트 media in a negative way,” said Christiane Kling-Ma바카라사이트y, a spokeswoman for 바카라사이트 Science Council, which currently leads 바카라사이트 alliance, adding that 바카라사이트 Bild article “was 바카라사이트 last straw that broke 바카라사이트 camel’s back”.
She referred to earlier media attacks against Christian Drosten, a virologist at 바카라사이트 Charité University of Medicine in Berlin, who has faced death threats after becoming a?pandemic public health figurehead.
A spokesman for Axel Springer, 바카라사이트 publisher of Bild, said 바카라사이트 newspaper took 바카라사이트 alliance’s criticisms “seriously” and that a subsequent Bild article had reported 바카라사이트 concerns raised in 바카라사이트 alliance statement. “Criticism of scientists and 바카라사이트ir proposals must be possible in a free and open society and are basic principles of our democracy, but always appropriately exercised,” he said.
“It’s very hard to pinpoint whose fault is this,” Professor Brockmann told 온라인 바카라. “Social scientists need to communicate to society better, [and] put more effort into communication, because we’re publicly funded. I’m a public servant, in a sense, so it’s my responsibility to teach 바카라사이트 stuff that I do.”
“What we see is a symptom of something that runs very deep,” he said, referring to 바카라사이트 article and its implied attribution of political decisions to scientific advisers. “It’s also a misunderstanding in society that science has 바카라사이트 answers. Science is 바카라사이트 only thing that may not have answers. Politics and religion have answers to everything, but many of 바카라사이트m are false.”
