This is the editorial that the physicians were sharing at the American Diabetes Association conference To appease the MAGA/MAHA Administration, the ADA called the cops to get the physicians removed These physicians are heroic If you can’t speak out & condemn authoritarianism NOW, then when?

In the #NASEM chat with Bhattacharya, he talks about how supporting innovation will support early career scientists. Meanwhile, under his leadership, early career scientists have disproportionately suffered. Early career scientists were disproportionately affected by terminations.

Bhattacharya is discussing the problem of replication in research. A major source of failure to replicate is lack of diversity in the original study population. Thus his anti "DEI" efforts -- which end up excluding already underrepresented people from research -- are undermining his stated goal.

In March, for the first time, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the transition to clean power. However, rising power demand is complicating the shift away from fossil fuels by extending the lives of many aging coal power plants.

While Trump launches us into a new forever war, he’s quietly preparing to take over our elections at home and rig the midterms in his favor. He knows he can’t win on the merits, so he’s preparing to cheat. We won’t let him get away with it.
