Shelby Bradford, PhD
Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
At the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2026 conference, police escorted five researchers out of the meeting for distributing an editorial published in the ADA's own journal, Diabetes Care. The editorial discussed negative impacts of policy changes on research funding. The incident sparked widespread discussion on social media among scientists from various disciplines, with many criticizing the ADA's heavy-handed response to what was essentially a published, peer-reviewed piece of scholarship.
