A prestigious scientific organisation has descended into infighting over a decision to invite Elizabeth Holmes, founder of blood-testing group Theranos, to deliver a presentation at its annual conference this week, with at least two members of the association threatening to resign.

一个久负盛名的科学组织陷入内讧，症结是邀请验血集团Theranos创始人伊丽莎白•霍姆斯(Elizabeth Holmes)在该组织本周举行的年会上发表演讲的决定。至少两名协会成员威胁要辞职。

The American Association for Clinical Chemistry invited Ms Holmes to deliver a 90-minute talk in front of 3,000 scientists on Monday night despite protests from some scientists responsible for organising the conference, who argued that a series of damaging scandals at Theranos should disqualify the company.

美国临床化学协会(American Association for Clinical Chemistry)邀请霍姆斯在周一晚向3000名科学家发表90分钟的演讲，尽管一些负责组织会议的科学家提出抗议，他们主张，Theranos爆出的一系列丑闻应当使该公司失去资格。

Ms Holmes had been expected to use the session to present scientific data in defence of her company’s proprietary blood-testing technology, including a tiny finger-prick vial or “nanotainer” that she claims can generate accurate test results without traditional needles or venous draws.

此前人们曾预计，霍姆斯将利用本次会议陈述相关科学数据，为她的公司专有的验血技术辩护，包括“Nanotainer”指尖采血小瓶子。她声称，仅这点血液就足以产生精确的检验结果，而无需传统的针头或静脉抽血。
