Friday night – why we march..

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

  1. 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.
