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.

You can upvote good discussion and points that are wrong or you disagree with. I downvote assholes and people who add nothing to the discussion.

Excellent point, and I hope your comment reminds others too. I didn’t go back and change my vote.
