I grew up in apartheid S Africa, where muzzling of speech and encroachment on academic freedom were the norm. I came to the US to pursue a career in science. I never thought that at this stage of my career, I would ever experience my youth again. #StandUpForScience #ADA #ADA2026
Destruction of NIH continues. Medical journals and associations say little, so Diabetes Care's editors chose to speak out. Disclaimers on the front page were placed by ADA. We must not be complacent and fearful. All our voices must be heard. doi/10.2337/dci26-0068/164764

Elon Musk's antisemitism is despicable. Is it now time for all (big and small users) to seriously consider cutting ties to X/Twitter?
