Doctors removed from diabetes conference after distributing anti‑Trump paper
The ADA said the doctors violated its nonpartisan rules after distributing an editorial that criticized federal cuts to biomedical research.
- Security officers escorted five diabetes experts out of the American Diabetes Association meeting in New Orleans on Friday for distributing an editorial criticizing federal biomedical research cuts.
- The ADA cited IRS regulations governing 501 nonprofits to justify maintaining a nonpartisan environment, following the cancellation of National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya's keynote address.
- Mark Atkinson, Scientific Sessions planning chair, and President-Elect Jennifer Green resigned the next day, while Aaron Kelly reported being "chest-bumped" by police officers during the removal.
- The editorial published in Diabetes Care became the 50th-most cited paper globally last month, while Rep. Diana DeGette condemned the incident, stating, "Censorship and intimidation have no place in science."
- Longtime ADA members fear the aggressive response creates a chilling effect, with researchers worried about potential grant retaliation or reprisal for protesting policies espoused by President Trump.
