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. 🙄
@luckytran and the biochemists unable to write about trans stereoisomers. This administration is clueless 🙄

@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.
