In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.

    I knee jerk upvoted the parent that this was responding to. Then I read your comment and I did a complete 180. This is obvious in retrospect and very insightful. Thanks

      You can upvote good discussion and points that are wrong or you disagree with. I downvote assholes and people who add nothing to the discussion.

        Excellent point, and I hope your comment reminds others too. I didn’t go back and change my vote.

      That comment wasn’t wrong, in terms of stating an ideal to strive for. I upvoted both it and the response.
