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.

We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

They do this because they are very, very evil. There is no other reason. There is no excuse. It's only because they are evil. Please put that in the newspaper as well. We must be clear on the *why* as much as we are the *what*.
