The National Academy of Sciences has barred Jane Lubchenco, a key White House climate aide, from involvement in NAS publications and activities for five years for violating its code of conduct before joining the administration, the organization said.
Why it matters: The move represents a significant rebuke to Lubchenco, who is deputy director for climate and environment at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Driving the news: The NAS, the most prestigious science body in the U.S., said the decision, effective Aug. 8, stems from section 3 of its code of conduct. It states that members "shall avoid those detrimental research practices that are clear violations of the fundamental tenets of research."
A NAS spokesperson confirmed that the decision is related to last year's retraction of a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Before joining OSTP, Lubchenco edited a paper that was retracted from the journal PNAS in October 2021 because the data underlying the analysis was not the latest available, and because she has a personal relationship with one of the authors (her brother-in-law).
Lubchenco, while at the White House, has been spearheading work to develop scientific integrity policies across government agencies.
What they're saying: “I accept these sanctions for my error in judgment in editing a paper authored by some of my research collaborators — an error for which I have publicly stated my regret," Lubchenco said in a statement.
Lubchenco, a marine scientist, headed the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration during the Obama administration.
Catch up fast:
Lubchenco's involvement with the paper has drawn criticism from House Republicans and from the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), a conservative group that had called on the NAS to probe Lubchenco.
"The American people deserve leaders in the White House who don’t use their positions of influence to put their thumb on the scales for friends and family. Dr. Jane Lubchenco does not meet that standard and does not deserve to be an Assistant to the President," AAF founder Tom Jones said in a statement. Andrew Freedman contributed reporting.

Translation: All who dissent from liberal orthodoxy are to be defunded.
I read liberalspeak very well.
Fake climate science used to drive a political agenda…the RATS never miss a beat on any front…
to develop scientific integrity policies...............while being sanctioned by the NAS....................
That’s funny, right there!

The problem with any association is the purpose of that association is to enshrine whatever the orthodoxy of the moment is. For example, if the present scientific orthodoxy held that the Earth is flat, all those who try to prove otherwise would be punished by the organization. As Dr. Robert Oppenheimer said, “Science advances one funeral at a time.”
The same is true of The Better Business Bureau or any professional society, etc. The purpose of the Plumber’s Association, for example, is to prevent anyone else from becoming a plumber. Thus, they set the bar on entry very high to protect the business of those who are already members.

“Before joining OSTP, Lubchenco edited a paper that was retracted from the journal PNAS in October 2021 because the data underlying the analysis was not the latest available, and because she has a personal relationship with one of the authors (her brother-in-law).”
So she edited a paper written by her brother-in-law. That doesn’t seem so bad...
It’s a no-no....................
Science + politics = It ain’t science NO MORE
