Forced abstinence has been shown repeatedly to be worse (ie harms and kills people at higher rates) than not intervening in people’s substance use at all. And it doesn’t even reduce drug use.
The program’s medical director is Dr Rob Tanguay, who co-founded addiction treatment corp the Newly Institute & presumably still holds shares.
His key argument is there’s “insufficient evidence to support or refute” forced abstinence—we don’t know enough NOT to try it.
But he omits something. 2/

If you have built your scientific career off federal funding, you can organize a teach in at your favorite park or brewery to tell the public how you spend their tax dollars.
AND why we should INCREASE federal research and development $$$.
It’s not rocket science…or maybe it is?

The scale of the risk means we need to stop blaming women for "ignoring red flags" when men turn out to be controlling and abusive partners

True in the US as well as the UK. We live in a talent economy. Today universities are the means of production.
Also, both the humanities and science create long-term economic advantages to go along with their clear short-term economic benefits.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

One of the cruelest things about the NSF/NIH situations is that federal funders have been asking for acknowledgment about disparate impacts, inequality, etc. for years. To get a grant at all you had to (rightly) address those things. Now is the punishment for both caring and following the rules.
