Last weekend I had the pleasure of marching in downtown St. Paul, MN for the March for Science. The march for science is protesting the neglected scientific research for global warming exhibited in the Trump presidency. Science is extremely important for the success of our planet and I’m not agreeing with how Trump is handling the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). This post isn’t to necessarily start a political debate, but I am proud to say that I protested for something I believe in. I’m a biologist at heart and I’m a firm believer in funding NASA and traveling through space. Therefore, attending this march was crucial for me. I wanted to share my pictures with you and feel free to comment about your science background in the comment section below.

It was fun to see so many people in the crowd all supporting the same thing. I highly recommend attending a march sometime.

So cool you attended the march! One of the ethnobotany classes I took in college changed my life. It was amazing to see the march come together to keep the importance of science alive. 😀

Exactly! Science has helped save our world and the people in it. I don’t have polio thanks to vaccines as an example.

The joy that is Trump. I have a great deal of sympathy for folks living in a country run by him. Aside from anything else, he collaborated with the Decepticons in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. That all being said, I believe my government recruits its ministers from the Jim Henson workshop on a regular basis…
