March For Science subreddit

Note: you don't have to be a scientist to show up. If you're a support of empirical evidence-based science, then feel free to go.

Seems like they're still in the organization steps, but in light of recent events the science community is starting to put together a March for Science. The above link is to the new sub, as to encourage everybody to join (whereas the old subreddit was ScientistsMarch), but it is currently a little over 2k subs (old was over 6k).

Hoping the can get a decent rallying behind this message, especially as recent news hasn't been too kind towards pro-science ideas or climate change studies.

No offence, but as a scientist, this would be the lamest protst ever

(I support this protest, would go if I could)

HvySky · Jan 26, 2017

We need as many marches as possible. Keep. It. Up.

As a scientist, shouldn't you be worried about the Trump Administration?

ShadowSwordmaster · Jan 26, 2017

I saw this going on twitter yesterday. I hope they have a big crowd.

Worst first post ever?

As a scientist you should understand what is at stake here.

Come on we need to do this. Already have a bunch of people planning to go from my University

I assume your funding isn't being cut yet?

This is a triumph

I would go if I could! The advantage of scientists protesting is that as a traditionally politically reserved community, none of the usual ad-hominens stick

And protest.

So people standing up to oppression is lame? Huh. Thought this country wouldn't go down without a fight.

What?

Have you read the news recently?

--i think i misunderstood, my bad.

I'm cool.

RPGCrazied · Jan 26, 2017

More. More! Keep it up. I want to see this man crack and resign or do something stupid and get impeached.

Linkura · Jan 26, 2017

Very much interested in this. Husband has a science degree so he would qualify as a scientist. However, they say all are welcome, including concerned citizens who are not scientists (like me).

The more protests, the better.

Swamped · Jan 26, 2017

This is amazing and very much called for. Plan on participating

Darth Pinche · Jan 26, 2017

Yes! Don't piss off the people who will make the future.

These are the people who can easily enable the "Kill All Humans" function on all our technology.

RumblingRosco · Jan 26, 2017

This only started 24 hours ago a d the Facebook group added 20,000 people in that time, most coming in the past 4-5 hours; it has been covered on CNN and elsewhere and will be big.

As a scientist, I just might join in, if I can find a way to DC.

Capitan · Jan 26, 2017

if there's one in LA like the womens' march, i'm in.

it's still a march if we all stand around awkwardly

BriGuy · Jan 26, 2017

Man, I want to attend this. I wonder if my boss could request travel funds for the whole lab to go.

Was just getting ready to say that this will be the largest gathering of nerds not relating to some type of -con

The Kree · Jan 26, 2017

Gather in one place so police can shoot and tear gas and arrest you all at the same time. Smart.

WiiredShawn · Jan 26, 2017

If Bill Nye is not at the front of that march, then science has failed.

The Lamp · Jan 26, 2017

I wish I could go but I probably can't afford to go to DC any time soon. As a chemical engineer I support this 100%

Maybe I can donate a little

iRAWRasaurus · Jan 26, 2017

I need to get off and find a way to get there.

Darth Pinche · Jan 26, 2017

My nephew is helping to organize the march in Tucson, AZ. He is earning his master's in Ecology and is rallying the other scientists there!

TissueBox · Jan 26, 2017

It ain't rocket science amirite!

Mentioning that, I wonder how Sheldon would react knowing orange fascist is trying to destroy science in US soil.

Someone will see a sign they disagree with and trigger a semantic argument that will divide the crowd.

pelicansurf · Jan 26, 2017

Hope they enjoy getting sued by the police.

Pau · Jan 26, 2017

Please be on a weekend so I can get to DC and join.

ShironRedshift · Jan 26, 2017

Wish I could attend, but there's no way that's happening. Definitely wish them the best of luck with this though. We're definitely gonna need it.

Ran rp · Jan 26, 2017

beautiful

Fulminator · Jan 26, 2017

i abandoned my education as a scientist in favor of some endeavors that i'm more passionate about career wise, but I am still very much an advocate for any and all science

i absolutely support this march and i'm honestly thinking about going to DC to participate

theepicoftyler · Jan 26, 2017

Would like to go. Need to figure out how feasible that would be. Cash is tight.

LookAtMeGo · Jan 26, 2017

Trump going all Catholic church on science in 2017.

Operations · Jan 26, 2017

Until March? They should be moving as fast as Trump is doing.

Audioboxer · Jan 26, 2017

I'd get on a plane and fly over for this one! Bit too broke just now though.

wild wild rice · Jan 26, 2017

Id like to go tot his own for sure.

Smiley90 · Jan 26, 2017

Interested in this, I just went to DC for the first time this year and really wanna go back. Might as well combine this. we could do a Science-GAF meetup!

GK86 · Jan 26, 2017

I will join them.

Thatonemoor · Jan 26, 2017

Soo..... can someone with a degree in political science go?

Sounds like a great idea! No way I am missing this.

devilhawk · Jan 26, 2017

The Seattle group has 1000+ members in an hour. It has now overwhelmed my facebook feed.

Nice.

Mirand · Jan 26, 2017

Hell yeah, let's do this fellow believers of empirical evidence.

Silent Chief · Jan 26, 2017

I like the logo.

Kinda looks like someone is nuking the white house.

soco · Jan 26, 2017

Sadly, only 100 will have funding to go.
