Lernen von Corona? Dieses Buch entstand vor der Covid19-Pandemie, was in diesem Fall als Beleg für Seriösität gelten soll. Der Autor war offensichtlich nicht darauf aus, mit einem aktuellen Thema kurzfristige Aufmerksamkeit zu erhaschen. Der Ansatz klingt interessant: Ein renommierter Mathematiker und Epidemiologe vergleicht Dynamik und Struktur der Ausbreitung von Pandemien, Börsenentwicklungen, Fakenews und Gewaltexzessen. Wodurch entstehen sie, wie werden sie befördert, was befeuert sie? Gibt es mathematische Grundmuster oder vergleichbare Strukturen in der Ausbreitung von Malaria und den Bad Banks? War die Lehmann Brothers Bank ein Superspreader? Inzwischen nutzt auch die Finanzwelt epidemiologische Analyseverfahren.

Fazit: Ein Verständnis epidemiologischer Zusammenhänge ist durchaus hilfreich für das Verständnis von Finanzkrisen und Sozialdynamiken.
Methodisch differenziert, wissenschaftlich fundiert, lebendig geschrieben mit vielen verblüffenden Beispielen und Anekdoten.
Beate Frenkel ist Redakteurin beim ZDF-Magazin "frontal 21" und recherchierte 2019 ausgiebig für dieses Buch und für eine TV-Dokumentation über Wunderheiler und das äußerst lukrative Geschäft mit den Versprechungen der Alternativmedizin.

Ihre Ergebnisse machen einfach nur wütend. Es geht hier nicht um harmlose Zuckerkügelchen oder Aurareiniger, die Scharlatane greifen zu immer gefährlicheren, immer abstruseren Methoden. Angebliche Wundermittel wie Chlorbleiche als Einlauf, Pendel gegen Krebs finden gerade in Zeiten der Verunsicherung ein immer größeres Publikum.

Die Autorin analysiert die Beweggründe, warum sich immer mehr Menschen von der sogenannten "Schulmedizin" abwenden, teilt die Kritik an der Pharmaindustrie, aber konstatiert ebenso ein zunehmendes Abdriften großer Bevölkerungsteile in Richtung esoterischer Verschwörungsmythen, die sich nicht erst seit der Coronapandemie radikalisieren u. immer mehr von der Realität abkoppeln.

Keine Satire, sondern brandaktuell.

He was promoted to Senior Lecturer (2005), Reader (2008) and presently holds a chair in Bioengineering (2011) at the Department of Material Science & Engineering and the Kroto Research Institute, University of Sheffield. He is also Director of the Centre for Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering and Associate Director of the Kroto Research Institute at Sheffield. Key areas of his work include scaffolds for nerve injury repair, 3D nerve models as alternatives for animal testing and 3D imaging. His publications include papers in Nature Protocols, Proc Natl Acad Sci, and Adv. Mater and he has edited 1 previous book entitled 3D Cell Culture published under the Methods in Molecular Biology (2011) series of texts (Humana Press / Springer Protocols, USA). Prof Haycock is a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College in the UK and internationally has serves on grant awarding panels and examination bodies in Canada (CFI), Finland and Sweden. Arti Ahluwalia has a PhD in Bioengineering from the Polytechnic of Milan (IT), MSc. in Instrumentation and Analytical Science, University of Manchester (UMIST, UK), BSc. in Physics, University of Bath (UK) and is now Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the Department of Information Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Pisa, and Vice Director of Interdepartmental Research Center "E. Piaggio", head of the MCB Group. Affiliated with National Council of Research Institute of Clinical Physiology (CNR-IFC) and director of its NanoBioScopy Lab. The main focus of her research has centered on the interaction between biological systems and man-made materials devices or structures focused towards the creation of organ and system models in-vitro. Author of over 100 peer-reviewed publications and of several patents on microfabrication, and on microfabricated multicomaprtment bioreactors that have been licensed for commercialization. Current projects are on tissue engineering, biosensing, robots for autism, bioreactors and in-vitro models. Malcolm Wilkinson is the founder and Managing Director of Kirkstall Ltd. Prior to founding Kirkstall he had been managing a high technology consulting company in Cambridge UK following a career in high technology product development both in large corporations as well as start-ups. He has had senior roles in most important functions from R&D through to sales and marketing. In the consulting company he supported spinouts from Universities and raised over $15 million from Venture capital and regional development funds. He has a BA from Oxford University, MSc from Southampton and did his PhD research at Middlesex University. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Nanotechnology and has been a visiting Lecturer for FSRM, Neuchatel, Switzerland, on the subject of Micro and Nanotechnology in Biomedical Engineering for over 10 years.
