Scientists ejected from diabetes conference for distributing journal reprints
摘要
五位顶尖科学家因在美国糖尿病协会年会上分发批评特朗普政府攻击科研的期刊文章，被逐出会场。涉事者包括《糖尿病护理》主编史蒂文·卡恩等学者。他们在美国国立卫生研究院院长演讲会场外分发4月29日发表的社论重印本。据当事人描述，安保人员强行收缴其证件并驱离。该事件引发对学术自由和言论限制的讨论。
Five leading scientists were ousted from the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in New Orleans on Friday. Their crime: handing out copies of an editorial, published in the journal Diabetes Care on April 29, sharply criticizing the Trump administration's ongoing attacks on scientific research.
Those ousted were Steven Kahn, professor of medicine at the University of Washington and editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care, who co-authored the published editorial; former ADA president Desmond Schatz of the University of Florida, Gainesville; Aaron Kelly, pediatrics processor at the University of Minnesota; Justin Ryder of Northwestern University; and Irl Hirsch, also of the University of Washington. The five were handing out reprints of the editorial outside a room where NIH director Jay Bhattacharya had been scheduled to speak. Bhattacharya cancelled and another NIH official spoke in his stead.
"They physically grabbed us, forced us out of the conference center, and now are telling us we can no longer attend this meeting," Kelly told MedPage Today, which first reported the incident. "They're taking our lanyards. It really has come to this in America. Censorship is real. America needs to stand up. Scientists, stand up. Physicians, stand up."
