1. We’d like to clarify the situation on the "code of conduct" presented to attendees of the ESSGN conference. This was an early internal draft that was prepared somewhat hastily. In retrospect, asking attendees to sign it was premature and has understandably raised concerns.
The @ESSGNetwork just refused to let me participate in their conference in May because, as a matter of conscience, I refused to sign their ethically & politically contentious statement of principles. I guess freedom of conscience does not exist in social science genetics in 2025.
3. Since the submission deadline, we’ve gone through several revisions of this code based on feedback from our members. We’re now taking time to reconsider whether it’s appropriate to ask conference participants to sign it in the future. We appreciate the honest dialogue!
