There is also one more important harm: reputational and trust harms to science.

Research ethics controversies hurt research overall. They decrease trust in ethics review. And in this case decrease redditors' trusts of researchers, likely influencing willingness to participate in consented research.

Great piece.

I'm wondering if there's any more info about their immigration status that could be shared. Just trying to get a sense of what "in the U.S. illegally" (via linked @ktampone.bsky.social article) means in this context, as my understanding is that it could refer to huge range of stuff?

And cancelling those projects after a research team has already put months of work (and NIH money) into getting off the ground is pretty much always going to be a HUGE waste.

A little perplexed by how some language in the article suggests that this grant was mistakenly "caught up" in an overly "broad" definition of DEI. NIH research grants are fundamentally about public health, not to mention really friggin' hard to get. Targeting pretty much ANY study...

...info they can use to:
- make comparisons with other studies
- make judgments about our study's reliability, how it might apply or not apply to another context
- critique our work and offer different interpretations
- use our work as a basis for research with a different focus /2

A research paper like this should not just be a catalog of the findings we drew from our particular methods and sample. It's more like, one entry in a larger body of work by lots of people w/ competing perspectives. We characterize our sample, in part, to give people w/ a different pov... /1

That is so heartening to hear, thank you

Is there any update on this? Other projects that were paused over this were re-started a couple days later (in the wake of legal action/memo rescission). Why is this project being treated differently?
