Today I participated in the Earth Day March for Science. In our smallish (50K) community, it is estimated that 5,000 people marched today. I was totally blown away. But, more than the estimate of one tenth of our population showing up, it appeared that the majority of the marchers were young people. They came out to be counted as supporters of science,... the process, the rigor, the peer reviews, the benefit to our health and comfort and lives. These young people are the ones who will carry us forward and they want to know what science teaches us and how it benefits us. They want human life to be informed and the planet protected for their children.
Sent April 22, 2017 - Happy Earth Day!
