Kudos to #StephenCurry (@StephenCurry) for his open letter to the #RoyalSociety, pointing out that Elon #Musk has violated the society's code of conduct, and asking it to remove him from the Fellows of the Royal Society (#FRS), to which he was elected in 2018.

(Curry calls for signatures from "all members of the UK or international scientific community" and I just signed.)

Kudos to #DorothyBishop (@deevybee) as well, who made the same call in her Nov 2024 letter of resignation from the society.

"In response to Musk's claim that no monkey had died because of Neuralink, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine wrote to the SEC, claiming Musk’s comments were false. The group said it had obtained veterinary records from Neuralink’s experiments showing that at least 12 young, healthy monkeys were euthanized as a result of problems with Neuralink’s implant."

"So is there anything that can be done to challenge wrongdoing without crashing out over the cliff? A major point made by Elliott is that whistleblowers should not go it alone: that way madness lies." - @deevybee
