Chloe Tryon was their last recognised batter and her departure at the end of the 39th over exposed South Africa's long tail, but a streaky ninth-wicket stand of 32 between Nonkululeko Mlaba and Mieke de Ridder pushed them to a respectable, if below-par, total.

Jeroen de Ridder: "It is wonderful that we have been able to actually make the step into clinical practice by combining all areas of expertise, from basic researchers to pathologists and surgeons. By doing so, we can help surgeons to optimize the outcome of brain tumor surgery."

Jeroen de Ridder, research group leader within UMC Utrecht and Oncode Institute: "Recently, Nanopore sequencing became available: a technology that helps to read DNA in real time. For this, we developed an algorithm that is equipped to learn from millions of simulated realistic 'DNA snapshots'. With this algorithm, we can identify the tumor type within 20 to 40 minutes. And that is fast enough to directly adjust the surgical strategy, if necessary."

Jeroen de Ridder, a philosopher of science at VU who is not involved in the study, says he is disappointed that a unique opportunity to study research integrity across disciplines may be lost.

He denies the survey has methodological flaws: “This has become the most careful and thorough survey one could wish for,” de Ridder says.
