Diabetes org apologizes for ejecting scientists over criticism of Trump
摘要
美国糖尿病协会负责人发布视频，就上周五将五位知名糖尿病科学家强行逐出年会一事道歉。这些科学家因分发一篇批评特朗普政府破坏生物医学研究的社论而被驱逐，该社论发表于协会旗下期刊。被逐者包括期刊主编及协会前主席。
Amid intense backlash, the head of the American Diabetes Association posted a video Wednesday apologizing for the organization's decision on Friday to forcefully remove five leading diabetes scientists from the association's annual meeting.
The scientists were ejected for handing out copies of an April editorial—published in the ADA's own journal Diabetes Care—that sharply criticizes the Trump administration for the damage and destruction it's wreaking on biomedical research. The five scientists included Steven Kahn, professor of medicine at the University of Washington, who is the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care and a co-author of the editorial. It also included former ADA President Desmond Schatz of the University of Florida.
The scientists were distributing the editorial outside the conference's opening speech, which was originally scheduled to be given by Jay Bhattacharya, head of the National Institutes of Health under Trump. Bhattacharya canceled at the last minute, and senior NIH official Rick Woychik took his place.
