Still Life with Robin: March in April

This is for all those who wanted to be part of the March for Science on the Mall today, but couldn’t make it due to conflicting demands and/or desire not to get soaked. You can livestream the “virtual march”  by going to:

https://www.marchforscience.com/

And if you’re too busy to watch the livestream, at some point you may want to take a look at some of the best signs people are carrying:

However, you will miss hearing the chants, including my favorite:

“What do we want?”

“SCIENCE!”

“When do we want it?”

“After appropriately peer-reviewed and reproducible studies have been conducted!”

To see photos and tweets from the March for Science here in DC and from the many other marches in cities across the US and around the world, check Twitter #MarchforScience:

Finally, if you missed your chance to be part of the March for Science today, you will have another chance a week from today at the very similarly themed Climate Change March on April 29. Details and logistics for the DC event here:
