#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.

This piece is worth a read as it details the actions & aftermath; here’s just one taste. 😱
A real s**t show went down at the American Diabetes Association (ADA)’s meeting - you may have seen the video of the 5 diabetes scientists having their handouts snatched & being manhandled out by beefy police:
“Kahn [lead author of the editorial at the center of the story, and the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care] pointed out that the events as they unfolded brought his editorial more attention than he ever imagined, with page views shooting up to 76,000 as of Monday afternoon, and a flood of views on social media through various channels.

“"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."”

The #WarOnScience continues to the detriment of the entire nation. The #americandiabetesassociation aka #ADA removed 5 registered members from their annual meeting in New Orleans last Friday for trying to distribute an article about latest funding cuts and changes to approval procedures.

A former American Diabetes Association employee alleges she was sacked after refusing to endorse salads loaded with Splenda, an artificial sweetener. Totally by coincidence, Splenda gave the ADA a million dollars.
