Addressed to the board of directors, the notice of boycott -- effective immediately -- said that in the months after the researchers were removed and banned from the meeting for distributing an editorial on federal research funding cuts, the ADA "offered shifting justifications, no apology, and despite the CEO's ... promise, no truly independent review" of the events.

The editors of ADA's flagship journal, Diabetes Care, have joined on in support of the boycott.

"Manuscripts submitted will not be handled until the boycott is over," said Steven Kahn, MBChB, the journal's editor in chief and one of the five researchers ejected from the meeting in New Orleans, in a LinkedIn post on Thursday.

The American Diabetes Association should be about diabetes, not censorship.

Funded by companies that selectively publish biased data. Fuck the ADA. Reset and restart with independent experts, FOSS style

Why does the ADA have a CEO?

This reminds me I need to finish reading The Revolution Will Not Be Funded: Beyond the Non-Profit Industrial Complex

Every expert who leaves is replaced by a loyalist who does the job worse, doing more damage and helping less people.
