#marchforscience the science behind the March for Science on April 22 2017
The March for Science demonstrates the passion for science and sounds a call to support and safeguard the scientific community.
People who support scientific research and evidence-based policies to take a public stand and be counted.
The March for Science is an international movement, led by organizers distributed around the globe. This movement is taking place because of the simultaneous realization by thousands of people who value science in their lives that staying silent is no longer an option. There are marches being planned across the United States and internationally.
The March for Science is a celebration of science. It's not only about scientists and politicians; it is about the very real role that science plays in everyone's life and the need to respect and encourage research that gives everyone insight into the world. The march has generated a great deal of conversation around whether or not scientists should involve themselves in politics. In the face of an alarming trend toward discrediting scientific consensus and restricting scientific discovery, this is a very interesting event for scientists around the world to publicly speak out their concerns and thoughts of politics in general. I wonder what President Trump thinks of this? and could this be an eye opener for him to act and listen to the activists in this march? This will be very interesting indeed.
The big march takes place on April 22, 2017, to embrace the power of science around the world. Find out where the march for science demonstration is, in your local area.
Scientists really need to march for science once in awhile. So much science is shut down by these pretentious white coats. Be nice if they would remember what science is all about. (On a lighter note, neat, hope it's to support open minded scientific study vs indoctrination lol) cheers thanks for posting
I do not know what Trump thinks of this, but he is in some sense the one who has initiated this movement by his actions.
I have actually written something about it some time ago (you can find it here if you are interested). I also provide a couple of links where extra information can be found.
