- Five leading scientists were ejected from the American Diabetes Association annual meeting for distributing an editorial critical of Trump administration policies on scientific research.
- The ousted scientists included prominent figures like the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care and a former ADA president, who were removed by security for allegedly violating the conference's code of conduct.
- The ADA defended the removal, stating the scientists engaged in disruptive behavior and were given a chance to stop before being escorted out, while the scientists decried the action as censorship.
