Connecting the Dots

A blog on how to make sense of what is going on in the world of science. Unagitated opinions, backed by science.

About this blog

The web is brimming with opinions on science - but not all of them are actually backed by science. Those who are not hamper the public understanding of what science is and does. That is why we’ve built a place where scientists try to make sense of what is going on in the world of science. Hence, we’re calling it »Connecting the Dots«: Here you’ll find articles about current debates, issues and concepts in research, in the form of opinion articles, essays and Q&As. We encourage voices from all disciplines and all languages.
