STAT+: Another diabetes association leader is out while review continues
In brief
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) notified staff this week that chief scientific and medical officer Rita Kalyani is no longer in her role, effective immediately. The change comes about six weeks after the ADA announced a review of the incident at its June New Orleans annual meeting, where armed security removed five members for distributing a Diabetes Care editorial raising alarm over cuts to federal research funding. That review remains ongoing.
Why it matters
The news links ADA security removing members over federal research funding to its chief scientific officer's departure in one timeline.
