drguidoknapp 1897: Rund 30 Jahre vor Alexander Fleming entdeckt der frz. Armeearzt Ernest Duchesne die antimikrobielle Wirkung von Schimmelpilzen. Doch weil er erst 23 Jahre alt und völlig unbekannt ist, wird seine Doktorarbeit vom Institut Pasteur abgelehnt. Er stirbt 1912 an Tuberkulose. pic.twitter.com/1UFtn15I1g

cdutilhnovaes I have issues with the apology culture too, strikes me as one of the (many) bad faces of Christian morality, now appropriated by the left—repent and recant! But it’s also true thar words can do real harm, so tricky how to enforce accountability for speech. twitter.com/paulbloomatyal…

tschfflr Fun fact: When @HalukaMB interviewed me about emoji 4 years ago for Die Zeit, I drew a lot on general (computational) linguistics knowledge. But now I'm doing a "real" research project on it and finishing a publication (with my student Rebecca Reglin). #FakeItTilYouMakeIt
