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]

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

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

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

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

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

 

[The Living Tribunal]

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?

 

[cdyhybrid]

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

 

[Krixeus]

Spoiler

And protest.

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

 

[Ludovico]

In

What?

Have you read the news recently?

--i think i misunderstood, my bad.

I'm cool.

 

[RPGCrazied]

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

 

[Linkura]

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]

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

 

[Darth Pinche]

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]

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]

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

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

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

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

 

[BriGuy]

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

 

[Dirca]

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

 

[The Kree]

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

 

[WiiredShawn]

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

 

[The Lamp]

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]

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

 

[Darth Pinche]

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]

It ain't rocket science amirite!

 

[Linkark07]

Spoiler

And protest.

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

 

[Lesath]

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

 

[pelicansurf]

Hope they enjoy getting sued by the police.

 

[Pau]

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

 

[ShironRedshift]

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]

beautiful

 

[Fulminator]

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]

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

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Trump going all Catholic church on science in 2017.

 

[Operations]

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

 

[Audioboxer]

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

 

[wild wild rice]

Id like to go tot his own for sure.

 

[Smiley90]

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]

I will join them.

 

[Thatonemoor]

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

 

[elshoelace]

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

 

[devilhawk]

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

 

[elshoelace]

Everyone who supports science!

That would be great as well!

of course! Its open to everyone and recommended as well!

 

[Loudninja]

Nice.

 

[Mirand]

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

 

[Silent Chief]

I like the logo.

Kinda looks like someone is nuking the white house.

 

[soco]

Sadly, only 100 will have funding to go.
