🚨BREAKING: Laura Helmuth has resigned as Editor-in-Chief of Scientific American after over four years in the role. During her tenure, she transformed @sciam from a widely respected, objective popular science magazine into a science-themed, woke political publication.
Her resignation follows a series of (now deleted) unhinged posts she made on Bluesky on election night. She has since apologized for the posts, and assured readers that her political views do not compromise the "editorial objectivity" at Scientific American.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, right.
Scientific American is a leading "science" magazine pushing sex spectrum pseudoscience.
@sciam She once absurdly claimed that white-throated sparrows had 4 sexes. When I corrected her on this point, she blocked me.
Helmuth is lauding the work she did spreading medical misinformation about "gender-affirming care."
She claims that "gender-affirming care for trans kids is good health care," despite every systematic review stating otherwise.
She dismisses the notion of "rapid onset gender dysphoria," even though this new cohort of kids suddenly identifying as transgender in adolescence is well-documented.
And she tries to scaremonger by claiming that "the first trans clinic was destroyed by Nazis."
Yeah, glad she's gone.
