Visiting Scholar Manfred Laubichler speaks to WELT in an interview about epistemology of science. The interview explores the weaknesses that become apparent during major crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change. This conversation is based on the academic paper "COVID-19 Heralds a New Epistemology of Science for the Public Good," coauthored by Jürgen Renn et al., which was published in 2021 in History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences (HPLS).
