This is what NativeBio is trying to fight. DNA is a business, estimated to be worh $172 billion/year by 2035. We live in a glut of information, including disinformation. The Genomics field already has a history of racism, power dynamics, data theft, surgical/chemical sterilization and murder.
Geneticist here. Anyone telling you that they can just change intelligence (which isn't what IQ measures well anyways) by fiddling with a few genes is just straight-up grifting, it doesn't work like that. And yes it's basically definitionally eugenics.

Academics should really start thinking about whether it makes sense to continue operating in states where a girl can turn in a physics paper that just says, “Jesus never talked about atoms,” and you’ll be fired for giving her an appropriate grade.
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Got an invite to review a manuscript yesterday (a U.S. holiday) and snarky email today that said invite is revoked because I hadn’t responded. 🫠🙄

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE
