Keith’s note: Have a look at “CDC Researchers Ordered to Retract Papers Submitted to All Journals“ at MedPage which says “In the order, CDC researchers were instructed to remove references to or mentions of a list of forbidden terms: Gender …” OK, so that apparently means a lot of NASA scientific research needs to be retracted too. It took 60 seconds and a simple word search to find these papers at PubMed containing at least one term forbidden in CDC papers:
- Sex-specific cardiovascular adaptations to simulated microgravity in Sprague-Dawley rat
- Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
- Spaceflight induces changes in gene expression profiles linked to insulin and estrogen
- Adaptation to full weight-bearing following disuse in rats: The impact of biological sex on musculoskeletal recovery
