This editorial discusses the importance of maintaining diversity within science, noting especially its significance to research in psychiatry. It follows a recent directive that was issued by the US administration that places unreasonable constraints on US government-funded scientific inquiry. The article draws attention to the harmful intended consequences of the directive. It also discusses its unintended consequences, which are likely to be damaging because heterogeneity is inherent in nature, and recognition of diversity in medical science helps achieve specificity. This is essential for the detection and diagnosis of disease and for tailoring therapies and developing targeted treatments.
这篇社论讨论了在科学界保持多样性的重要性，特别指出了其对精神病学研究的意义。它是在美国政府发布一项对由美国政府资助的科学探究施加不合理限制的指令之后撰写的。文章提请人们注意该指令预期的有害后果。它还讨论了其非预期后果，这些后果可能具有破坏性，因为异质性是自然界固有的，而认识到医学科学中的多样性有助于实现特异性。这对于疾病的检测和诊断以及定制治疗方法和开发靶向治疗至关重要。
