Five prominent scientists were removed from the American Diabetes Association's annual conference in New Orleans after distributing reprints of a critical editorial. The editorial, published in the journal Diabetes Care, voiced strong opposition to the Trump administration's policies regarding scientific research. The ejected individuals included the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care and other respected researchers. They were reportedly distributing the materials outside a session where a National Institutes of Health official was scheduled to speak. Conference organizers physically escorted the scientists out and confiscated their credentials.
This incident highlights concerns about the suppression of scientific discourse and potential censorship within professional academic gatherings.
