Avast ye, me hearties! I, a lowly scurvy dog, be part of a crew of top scholars who dared to examine the censorship plaguin' the American academy.

In the language of a 17th-century pirate, I be tellin' ye a tale of academic censorship that be gettin' accurately measured, me hearties.Arr, it be happenin' in the prestigious professional journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), where a scurvy team o' top academics, includin' Yours Truly as a lowly bit player, set sail on a quest. Ye see, we wanted to take a gander at the levels of censorship in the American academy nowadays, and, more importantly, understand why this be happenin'.
Arr, the results we obtained, led by UPenn's Cory Clark, be interestin' to say the least, me mateys. It turns out that academic censorship be more common than ye might think. It be lurkin' in the shadows, like a sly pirate waitin' to snatch yer treasure. But why, ye ask?
Well, me hearties, it seems that these scurvy dogs be censorin' their academic mates to protect their own reputations. They be fearin' that speakin' their true minds might harm their careers or anger the powers that be. It be a sad state o' affairs, indeed. But fear not, for there be a way to fight this tyranny!
Our crew has uncovered a possible solution to this plunderin' problem. We found that if academics have tenure, they be less likely to be silenced. So, me hearties, if ye be wantin' to speak yer mind without walkin' the plank, ye better fight for tenure like a true pirate fights for his ship.
So there ye have it, me mateys. Academic censorship be runnin' rampant in these seas, but we be uncoverin' its secrets. And remember, me hearties, never be afraid to unleash yer intellectual treasures upon the world, for knowledge be worth more than any doubloons!
