Genetic Data from over 20k U.S. Children Misused for 'Race Science' (opens in new tab)

> A group of fringe researchers thwarted safeguards at the National Institutes of Health and gained access to data from thousands of children. The researchers have used it to produce at least 16 papers purporting to find biological evidence for differences in intelligence between races, ranking ethnicities by I.Q. scores and suggesting Black people earn less because they are not very smart.

Yikes

What if access to basic knowledge wasn't considered dangerous, and scientists had better methods in place for centralizing critique of articles?

This reels of professionals too used to sticking their heads in the sand to introduce conflict to situations that warrant it.
