This article mis-represents criticisms of Angewandte Chemie publishing Tomáš Hudlický's essay (opposing efforts to increase diversity in organic synthesis) by attributing them to a "Twitter firestorm" while other publications note this event caused members of Angewandte Chemie's international advisory board to resign in protest, and other Chemists criticized the essay [1].
There may be a way to thoughtfully discuss this issue, but this article is a poor attempt at it.
