Article by Mickael Temporão, Yannick Dufresne, Justin Savoie and Clifton van der Linden in International Journal of Forecasting: “People do not know much about politics. This is one of the most robust findings in political science and is backed by decades of research. Most of this research has focused on people’s ability to know about political issues and party positions on these issues. But can people predict elections?
Im Fokus stehen chemoresistente Tumoren und Infektionen mit chemoresistenten mikrobiellen Krankheitserregern. Beide Krankheitsformen zeichnen sich durch vielfältige Resistenzen gegenüber etablierten Arzneistoffen aus, die die Therapie stark eingrenzen oder völlig außer Kraft setzen.

A conversation with Karl Sigmund at Edge: “…Now, I’m getting back to evolutionary game theory, the theory of evolution of cooperation and the social contract, and how the social contract can be subverted by corruption.
