Diabetes org apologizes for ejecting scientists

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has issued a public apology after forcefully removing five prominent scientists from its annual meeting. These scientists were ejected for distributing an editorial critical of the Trump administration's impact on biomedical research. Initially, the ADA defended the decision, citing code of conduct violations and federal regulations for non-profits. However, intense backlash from the scientific community, including criticism from over 40 ADA officials, prompted the apology. The ADA CEO expressed personal regret, stating the incident did not reflect the organization's values and pledging to mend community relations.
