Scientists removed from diabetes conference

Several prominent scientists, including the editor-in-chief of the ADA journal Steven Kahn and former ADA president Desmond Schatz, were reportedly ejected from a diabetes conference. The reason for their removal was the unauthorized distribution of journal reprints to attendees. This action disrupted the official proceedings of the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions, a major event for researchers and clinicians in the field. The incident highlights potential conflicts over intellectual property and conference protocols within the scientific community.
