#Diabetes org apologizes for ejecting #scientists over criticism of #Trump

Amid intense backlash, the head of the #AmericanDiabetesAssociation 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.

"Our goal was to hand out 1,000 copies of those editorials, and if we got 200 people to read them, we were lucky," Kahn told MedPage Today. "By the actions of the ADA, we've actually got millions of people to think about it."

AI Joins the Research Loop – synesis

Six recent results, from drug-discovery agents to formal proof search, show AI moving from solving closed problems to taking part in open research, where the trustworthy part is whatever can be checked.
