Carrie McDonough @carrieamcdphd.bsky.social · 27/10/2025One of the saddest and most disturbing things for me right now is watching scientists (early career and established) tie themselves in knots to avoid "banned words" in proposals. You are readily giving up your integrity as a scientist. 111
Carrie McDonough @carrieamcdphd.bsky.social · 27/10/2025I understand that you want to keep doing the work but where is the line? This is a slippery slope and you're normalizing bending scientific messages to appease an authoritarian regime. This is not the same as choosing some words and things to highlight based on a funder's interests. 110
