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.

Had to change the wording in my grants from “biodiversity” to “biological variety”. I work in conservation. This is indeed insanity.

and you cant say global warming is attributed to human related causes, must be something abstract like cosmic raditation.
