Wow, that completely discredits Scientific American... I'm pretty politically aligned with the nurse who wrote that oped but that doesn't change the fact that this oped is a complete hackjob, attacking great scientists with baseless accusation, wilfully misunderstanding the work of Wilson (and Mendel, Darwin, etc...) and completely misunderstanding statistics. The point of science is the search of truth, it's impossible to get closer to the truth of the world if the only answers the researcher accepts are those that matches their political views.
