March for science

Posted by Graal on 2017-April-22 11:55:31, Saturday
Today people are hitting the streets to "march for science". One news article says:

"Thousands of people have joined a mass celebration of scientific endeavour amid fears research is under threat from a post-truth age and Brexit."

"Organisers claimed 12,000 people joined the London event, as hundreds of similar protests took place around the globe, from Australia to the US."

"Comedian Robin Ince also expressed concern that a rejection of expertise spelled a return to "charlatanism"."

I guess this means people will finally take in the scientific research by Brongersma, Sandfort, et al instead of resorting to irrational "charlatanism" in this area. You go, people!
