Re:Should scientific journals back political candidates? Probably not

No one's suggesting they 'stay silent'. Not endorsing a specific candidate when it appears to actually undermine trust/interest in their research and in science as a whole isn't staying silent. Ignoring their own research while asking others to 'listen to the science' seems an odd position for a journal to take.

"When shown one photo each of a gay and straight man, both chosen at random, the model distinguished between them correctly 81% of the time. When shown five photos of each man, it attributed sexuality correctly 91% of the time. The model performed worse with women, telling gay and straight apart with 71% accuracy after looking at one photo, and 83% accuracy after five. In both cases the level of performance far outstrips human ability to make this distinction. Using the same images, people could tell gay from straight 61% of the time for men, and 54% of the time for women. This aligns with research which suggests humans can determine sexuality from faces at only just better than chance."
