petersuber<p>Update. Kudos to Andrea Sella for returning his 2014 Faraday Prize to the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/RoyalSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RoyalSociety</span></a> because the society refuses to expel or discipline Fellow Elon <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a>.<br><a href="https://www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/why-i-returned-the-faraday-prize-to-the-royal-society/4021668.article" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">chemistryworld.com/opinion/why</span><span class="invisible">-i-returned-the-faraday-prize-to-the-royal-society/4021668.article</span></a> </p><p>From Sella: "Musk has amplified wild conspiracy theories, repeated racist and eugenic ideas, and spread calls for harming of one of his fellow Royal Society members, Anthony Fauci. The Royal Society stayed silent, declining to take disciplinary action against Musk even after resignations and petitions. Acting for the US administration, this past spring Musk embarked on a rampage…gutting science-based agencies, shutting down scientific databases, shredding public health programmes."</p><p>Also see the (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/paywalled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>paywalled</span></a>) coverage at the Financial Times. <br><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/877853df-1687-4d1f-940b-9eefc0cf69c0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ft.com/content/877853df-1687-4</span><span class="invisible">d1f-940b-9eefc0cf69c0</span></a></p>
