Would you like to co-sign a letter to the editor of Washington Post?

[Alexandre Antonelli]

Dear Neotropically-oriented fellows, 

I guess many of you might have seen Pyron’s recent perspective (published in several newspapers in the US and UK). Many of us were upset by those views and wrote a short response (attached; word limit is 250 words), which quickly gained over 1200 signatures of scientists from 60+ countries. 

I wonder whether you, and perhaps others you know might be willing to sign as well? If so, please add your names to https://goo.gl/E1i83Z (and feel free to send around the link!).

We plan to send it to WP tomorrow. 

Thanks and best wishes!

Alex
