Und wieder einmal beweist Trump mit einer einzigen Aussage, was er doch für ein ahnungsloser Politclown ist! OMG, sowas ist Präsident der USA! Unfassbar! 🤷‍♂️

Congrats to the award for this Important paper. The most appealing isn't always the best choice. #Deprescribing with care does help, but not only with "common sense ideas" @Age_and_Ageing
Rise to the challenge of including older people in clinical trials! This prize-winning study is an example of how including older people in a study will better reflect real world populations and have more meaningful findings bgs.org.uk/policy-and-media/… @OUPAcademic @OUPMedicine

Full support. While it is clear that there have been mistakes and authorities need to improve a lot, racism and disrespect of human beings because of their nationality or believe have lead to the biggest wars in history.
Replying to @elonmusk
It’s ironic how someone like you, Elon—arguably the richest and one of the most influential individuals on the planet—chooses to focus on certain trivial matters instead of directing your energy toward fostering peace, aiding those in need, and genuinely making the world a better place. With your immense resources and influence, you have the potential to bring about meaningful change. Take MrBeast, for instance. While he faces criticism, with people accusing him of profiting from his actions, at least he’s using his platform to help others in impactful ways. His efforts may be random, but they are undeniably making a difference. I used to admire and respect you, not just for your work but for the person you were. However, it feels like you’ve changed. Your focus now seems to be on politics, acquiring control, and building empires—which I find disheartening. You’ve become the very thing you once stood against, prioritizing personal gains over larger ideals. I understand that, as humans, we are often driven by self-interest—it’s in our nature. But it’s disappointing when people with your level of influence succumb to the same flaws as others in power. Take Trump, for example. I once appreciated him because he seemed different, but eventually, he too began supporting things that served his personal ambitions, revealing that he was no exception. The reality is, most governments and organizations seem to operate the same way—making deals behind closed doors, manipulating narratives, and prioritizing their own interests under the guise of serving the public. Sadly, this is the world we live in. The wrong individuals often hold power. People fear AI, claiming it could be dangerous or evil, but AI can only reflect the intentions of its creators. If left to think independently, focusing on the benefit of humanity and the planet, AI could outperform any human leader a trillion times over. The real danger lies not in AI itself but in the flawed humans who control it.

You've spent months on your research, only to realize you used the wrong method. Ouch. Research methods confuse most people. I see more boring, unappealing, and standard explanations by the day. Because it's challenging to understand them all. It requires many skills. Like: → Data analysis → Critical thinking → Experimental design → Statistical interpretation All part of conducting great research. Yet, many researchers fail at choosing the right method. Here are 5 key branches of research methods: → Quantitative (numbers-based analysis) → Qualitative (exploratory, non-numerical) → Mixed Methods (combining both) → Experimental (testing cause-effect) → Observational (watching without interference) A good researcher must be able to navigate these methods. Qualitative methods are crucial for in-depth understanding. Here's how I would structure a qualitative study: 1. Research question (what you want to explore) 2. Data collection (interviews, observations) 3. Thematic analysis (finding patterns) 4. Interpretation (making sense of findings) 5. Conclusion (addressing the research question) I'd aim for rich, detailed descriptions in my methodology. And for as much depth and context as my data allows. Here are 7 qualitative methods I love: 1. Ethnography 2. Case Study 3. Phenomenology 4. Grounded Theory 5. Content Analysis 6. Action Research 7. Historical Research Good luck with choosing a research method that doesn't fail. It's a challenge. I think my methods could improve as well. Please share your favourite research method in the comments if it helped you publish a paper. It's helpful to many new researchers to get inspiration. What do you think makes or breaks a good research methodology?
