Diabetes org apologizes for ejecting scientists over criticism of Trump
The American Diabetes Association has apologized for ejecting five leading diabetes scientists from its annual meeting after they handed out copies of an editorial critical of the Trump administration. The scientists, including the editor-in-chief of the ADA's journal Diabetes Care, were escorted out by police and barred from the rest of the conference. The apology comes after intense backlash and criticism from the diabetes research community, with several ADA leaders resigning amid the controversy.
