So is transgenic also going to be a banned word? Because if so, it’s going to be extremely hard to write any research paper that contains any basic molecular biology work. πŸ™„

l33t speak in research papers is going to be a thing!

@luckytran They don't want you to write research papers. Truth is their enemy, and that includes any science that tells the truth.
@luckytran The inability to write molecular biology papers would be a useful side effect to them.
@luckytran and the biochemists unable to write about trans stereoisomers. This administration is clueless πŸ™„

@keydelk @luckytran I'm reminded of [ https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/6/21355674/human-genes-rename-microsoft-excel-misreading-dates ]:

And now wondering how many genome projects have to rename genes to avoid tripping the government requirements.

Scientists rename human genes to stop Microsoft Excel from misreading them as dates

Scientists have renamed 27 human genes to stop Microsoft Excel misreading them as dates. The changes have been underway for the past year but have been formally announced as new guidelines published by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee. Scientist are overjoyed but annoyed Microsoft didn’t make the changes itself.

No more transitive verbs (they go, along with pronouns), no more transistor radios, no more Catholic communion because transubstantiation will be banned, and no more transcendental meditation, and ...
@luckytran They'll be going after the Transsiberian Orchestra next. Then on to Hotel Transylvania.
@luckytran If you've got anything about Chiropractic therapy or Ivermectin you might have better luck getting grants from the new NIH than with a study using the term TRANSgenic.

In the land of the free, words are getting banned.

And fascist trump claims to be a champion of free speech. (he means hate speech)
