"It is a common misunderstanding, especially in recent years, that large amounts of data are sufficient to understand complex relationships. But data can only be interpreted in relation to specific theoretical models and measurement systems, embedded in a larger scientific context. How this can be achieved is what I try to convey in my research and teaching, especially with regard to questions about human biology, health and evolution." (Philipp Mitteröcker)
