We Endorse the March for Science 2017

By B.J. Murphy

Ever since Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States, science has been under attack. From the elimination of the climate change page on the White House website to the gag orders mandated upon several scientific agencies, from the EPA to NASA. As a result, scientists are now starting to fight back.

This year we’ve already seen the Women’s March on Washington, whereby millions of women across the nation marched in favor of women’s rights. And now a new march is in the works: the Scientists’ March on Washington, whereby scientists and proponents of science will be marching in opposition toward politicized pseudo-science.

“There are certain things that we accept as facts with no alternatives. The Earth is becoming warmer due to human action. The diversity of life arose by evolution. Politicians who devalue expertise risk making decisions that do not reflect reality and must be held accountable. An American government that ignores science to pursue ideological agendas endangers the world.”

The Scientists’ March on Washington will serve as a “call to arms,” so to speak, for scientists to begin speaking up and speaking out against the threat which currently looms over scientific study. There is already talk of selected scientists now considering a run for political office. This would certainly be a perfect counter-balance to President Trump’s new mandate that all EPA scientific studies to undergo review by the new political staff before public release.

As we, Serious Wonder, are advocates of unbiased, unpoliticized science, we endorse the Scientists’ March on Washington. There is currently no official time or date for the march, but if you go on their main website or social media pages, they’ll be sure to keep you updated. And if you can’t make it to the DC march, be sure to find out if there’ll be any “sister marches” happening in your own State as well.
