Doug Bostrom<p>"The grant cancellations, Young concludes, "Arise from the NIH’s newly minted war against undefined concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion and gender identity, that has expanded to include vaccine hesitancy, COVID, influencing public opinion and climate change." The "undefined" aspect plays a key part in his reasoning. Referring to DEI, he writes, "No one has ever defined it to this Court—and this Court has asked multiple times." It's not defined in&nbsp;Trump's executive order&nbsp;that launched the "newly minted war," and Young found that administrators within the NIH issued multiple documents that attempted to define it, not all of which were consistent with each other, and in some cases seemed to use circular reasoning.</p><p>He also noted that the officials who sent these memos had a tendency to resign shortly afterward, writing, "it is not lost on the Court that oftentimes people vote with their feet."</p><p><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/dei" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dei</span></a><br><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/WarOnScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WarOnScience</span></a><br><a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/RememberInNovember" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RememberInNovember</span></a></p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/07/doge-told-the-nih-which-grants-to-cancel-with-no-scientific-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/science/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">7/doge-told-the-nih-which-grants-to-cancel-with-no-scientific-review/</span></a></p>
