A former Neuralink employee, Lindsay Short, has filed a lawsuit against the brain-implant startup for issues including retaliation, wrongful termination, and gender discrimination. Short claims that she was forced to work with monkeys carrying the Herpes B virus without proper protective gear, leading to scratches on her skin. Neuralink has faced criticism in the past for mistreatment of monkeys during research. The startup, backed by Elon Musk, is currently in clinical trials for a device aimed at restoring function for paralyzed patients.
