Super impressed with your thoughtful response @irime - now following you! It seems like you have a background in science as well (hence the "culture and science") in your profile. Just curious, in what respect?

Completely agree, I've heard accounts where scientists or university researchers will postulate or publish hypothesis not accepted by the mainstream peers in their field, they've thereafter been unofficially shunned from academia (or their field of science), often lose funding/grants, and find it generally hard to find employment. It's a shame but not sure what can be done about the sad state of affairs..wie schade.

Also, noticed you're in Berlin.. viele grüße aus HH!
