Scientists to March on Washington in the Spring

Scientists to March on Washington in the Spring: Come this April, thousands of scientists plan to leave their labs and take to the streets to rally on behalf of openly communicated, evidence-based research in what is being billed as a “March for Science.”

March organizers say it is their sincere hope that the event will draw enough scientists that Trump officials will have to admit they haven’t seen so many lab coats since their release from Bellevue.

Now at first I thought, why wait till April? Then it occurred to me, these people are frigg'n scientists. They’re not going to hold an outdoor rally in the middle of winter. Hell, hold the event in February and a lot of potential marchers might get cold feet - and maybe even cold hands and cold noses too.

Of course, being scientists, it will also be necessary for them to conduct another “controlled march” in order to confirm the effectiveness of the original march and then measure the two marches against each other in a double-blind test.

By that time, President Trump will have already signed an executive order declaring “science” as something of interest only to “nerdy losers” and deported all the scientists to some crazy, out of the way place like Cleveland where they can spend the rest of their days pondering how the hell the Cuyahoga River managed to catch fire.
