I’ve been asked to speak at a rally tomorrow for the ‘March for Science‘.. here in Burlington. It’s a satellite event for a nationwide march. I’m probably the most apolitical person I know.. I believe science should be apolitical too. I guess the problem is that people cant agree that science is apolitical.. which makes it political..
Science is all about being open minded.. and I see the current discussion in this country.. in the world actually.. is becoming less open minded. We want to blame it on our current politicians.. but I think the politicians we’re choosing. are a symptom.of a deeper problem of communications.
Science needs to be objective.. science needs to be open and free.. I’m trying to think ut what I can say tomorrow to support the free and objective communication of science..
suggestions welcome !
nite all, nite sam

John, today I heard that Neil deGrasse Tyson had said, “The good thing about science is that it is true whether or not you believe in it.” A simple but rather profound statement.
Facts, not belief. Dunbar’s # writ large.
How did I it go?
