Scientist March on D.C. Being Planned

Science has taken a bit of a beating in recent days and weeks, so to recover from some of those politically inflicted wounds, scientists are banding together.

A group, operating under the Twitter handle ScienceMarchDC, has formed and intends to march on the capital to “Take a stand for science in politics.” On their accompanying website, the group continues: “Slashing funding and restricting scientists from communicating their findings (from tax-funded research!) with the public is absurd and cannot be allowed to stand as policy.”
