Retraction Watch has covered the problem of the “national IQ” database. Should be noted I’m far from alone in working to remove these publications. The spreadsheet of pubs which use NIQ - linked to in the article - was started by @kohngregory.bsky.social; a project also worked on by Cathryn Townsend
Truly terrible for our students and for science

Very disappointed that we were forced to cancel our field season and return early, following the suspension of our NSF grant as part of Trump’s attacks on UCLA. Particularly sad for our students, who spent significant time and effort to join us this year.
We condemn in the strongest possible terms any university that would sacrifice its own students to the demands of an authoritarian government.
This is absolute cowardice & capitulation to an administration hellbent on the destruction of American higher education.
