Cita:There is an ongoing struggle between genetics researchers and the National Institutes of Health over restrictions placed on access to federally maintained genetic databases.
Several recent articles detailed claims from researchers that they are not allowed to use certain datasets to investigate topics deemed stigmatizing or taboo.
The College Fix reached out via email to the NIH for clarification, but did not receive a reply

Lee claimed the NIH routinely denies or revokes access to important genetic databases, such as the Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes, or dbGaP, based on whether researchers are proposing to conduct or are actively doing work on “forbidden” topics, such as the relationship between one’s genes, intelligence, educational attainment and health.
[...]
As for the rationale for the restrictions genetics researchers now face, Lee speculated in his article they “appear to be invented to impede research on certain topics that anonymous bureaucrats with ideological motivations have decided are out of bounds.”

A week prior to the publication of Lee’s article in October, The Chronicle of Higher Education ran an investigative piece documenting the downfall of Bryan Pesta, a former tenured professor of business at Cleveland State University with an academic background in both labor relations and psychology.
According to the Chronicle’s account, Pesta, despite being generally liked by his students and having long been in good standing at his institution, was targeted by groups of activists between 2019 and 2021 for publishing research suggesting possible genetic differences between racial groups impacting intelligence.
Subsequently, Pesta was investigated by both the NIH and his university for mismanaging data obtained through dbGaP and violating dbGaP user agreements and ultimately had his access to NIH data revoked, was barred from regaining access for three years, and was fired by CSU in March of this year.

For his part, Ritchie, writing of his own experiences, described how he and a group of colleagues had been interested in accessing summary statistics of data from a 2019 Alzheimer’s study via the NIH’s National Institute on Aging Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease Data Storage Site, or NIAGADS, to examine whether those with “more of the high-risk genetic variants linked to dementia tend to have lower IQs even well before they ever get a dementia diagnosis.”
However, they were precluded from doing so, as the page for that particular dataset explicitly states “these summary data should not be used for research into the genetics of intelligence, education, social outcomes such as income, or potentially sensitive behavioral traits.”

Richard Lynn dió en el clavo hace muchos años y estos aspavientos woke sólo lo confirman.
