March for Science: Protesters gather worldwide to support 'evidence'

quote [ Crowds massed in the US capital and around the world Saturday to support science and evidence-based research -- a protest partly fueled by opposition to President Donald Trump's threats of budget cuts to agencies funding scientists' work. ]

I'm not at all sure that marches like this do anything. At the very least it will introduce like minded people.

Just put this down here...

About 100 scientists met in Washington, DC Thursday to learn how to win an election.

Ahead of the March for Science Saturday, about 100 scientists met at American University in Washington, DC for a training session to learn how they can run for office to bring science, reason, and logical thinking back to politics.

I'm getting a bit sick of hearing "We don't want to come off as partisan". It is partisan. You have one party actively dismantling education and funding fake news and denying things like climate change. If it wasn't partisan, you wouldn't have to be marching.

Sometimes listening to scientists try to politic is like listening to politics trying to science.
