I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

#RareDiseaseDay is on the last day of February (28th or 29th).

Approximately 5% of the world's population is affected by a rare disease. Rare Disease Day is an important initiative for us, as nearly 90% of neuromuscular disorders are classified as rare diseases. (1/5)
