Description
The scene is set in an apothecary's shop: the potions on the shelves are labelled according to their desired effetcs (humility, obedience, patience, intelligence, etc.). A quack doctor is giving a potion of 'Wisdom' to a patient who defecates his 'follies' in the form of little fools. An assistant places another patient's head inside a burning oven, evaporating his foolish thoughts in the form of a large cloud containing images representing his vices and fantasies (Grillen).

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
