A researcher specializing in studying ultra-processed food has retired early from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) over what he described as censorship by superiors.

Kevin Hall said on the social media platform X on April 16 that “recent events have made me question whether NIH continues to be a place where I can freely conduct unbiased science.”
