Mikhail Shifman , doc. physics and mathematics Sciences, professor at the University of Minnesota (USA), laureate of the Pomeranchuk Prize (2013), commented on the dismissal of A. Gorsky as follows: ...Sasha Gorsky is one of the small number of truly active theorists remaining at ITEP, i.e. not those who imitate (or even no longer imitate) the work, but who put their soul, all their time and talent into it. Of those who live it. 20 years ago he could have gone to the West. But he didn’t leave.

A. Gorsky Sergey Nechaev , Dokt. Fiz.-Mat.Saok, V.N.S. The sectors of mathematical physics Fian, Directeur de Recherche au Cnrs, sent such a letter to the editors: Doctors Fiz.-Mat. sciences, leading researcher ITEF, head. lab.

Rebekah Frumkin Those who do not immediately remember this name, most likely, saw Bert Moriso in the famous picture of Edward Mane "Balcon" (1868): Morizo ​​sits on the left. Manet avoided professional modeling and asked Bert Moriso, with whom he was already familiar by this time, to pose him. While Mane was working on Balcony, Morizo, accompanied by her mother, regularly came to his workshop.

Artur Nikolaevich Chilingarov is a famous polar explorer. He has repeatedly conquered the Arctic and Antarctic. Once again he bravely fights the natural elements in the ice of the North Pole [1]. However, Chilingarov the scientist still cannot earn the prefix “presenter”. He participated three times in the Russian Government grant competition for state support of scientific research conducted under the guidance of leading scientists... or, simply put, in the mega-grant competition.

Bah! Comics! Why did you drive them into the very basement, no one will find them there!

The story offered to readers touches on the important and complex issue of the integrity and honesty of scientists, as well as entire scientific teams taking one or another part in the certification of highly qualified scientific personnel. Yes, we will talk here about dissertation defenses, about the work of dissertation councils using the example of one specific case.

Ya.B. Zeldovich. Photo: T.A. Birulya On March 8, 2014, it turned 100 since the birth of an outstanding scientist of the twentieth century, academician Yakov Borisovich Zeldovich . The circle of his scientific interests was unusually wide: from chemical physics, theory of shock waves and detonations to physics of elementary particles, astrophysics and cosmology.

Along with Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov (about which we have talked a lot lately), another “cult” organization, whose relationship with the “institute of fake degrees” needs to be considered separately, especially and carefully, is the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Irina Levontina On April 13, in the town of Kramatorsk, an administrative building was seized, which was captured on video: http://youtu.be/qmxBjsU2rig . The video, as they now say, blew up the Internet - the green man there shouted: “We came with you, we are for you, move to the curb.” You can’t argue with linguistics: who will now believe in the self-defense of Donbass? St. Petersburg Donetsk resident. It is known that the curb occurs in St.

We are publishing a note by A. Gorsky, published on February 10, 2014 and updated on April 18. Success in science is achieved by people, not by instruments. P.L. Cap We promised before the New Year to try to assess the situation at ITEP. To do this, on the one hand, being a pessimist, is extremely simple, with just one word. The choice is only to use normative or profanity.

Along with Moscow State University. M.V. Lomonosov (about which we have talked a lot lately), another “cult” organization, whose relationship with the “institute of fake degrees” needs to be considered separately, especially and carefully, is the Russian Academy of Sciences. This is also important because the leadership of the Russian Academy of Sciences has taken, to put it mildly, a silent wait-and-see position on the dissertation issue.

A three-hobby publishes another review of Asi Kazantseva’s book “How the brain makes us make nonsense” (Corpus, 2014) [1, 2].
