Grande mobilisation #standupforscience hier à Lyon, pl. des Terreaux. Plusieurs centaines des personnes !

The New York City #StandUpForScience was in Washington Square Park this afternoon. There were some great talks from prominent scientists (including two Nobel laureates) and attendance was pretty good.

"I can't believe I have to march for facts!" And yet, here we are...
#StandUpForScience

Lots of good signs at #StandUpForScience Boston. These people were extremely well organized, with a portable stage and sound system. Unfortunately the sound system wasn't really ready for broadcasting to 1000 people outdoors, and the speakers never really got the memo about "swallow the microphone" even though they were told a few times, so a lot of them were inaudible to the people in the back. I got there fairly early so I was towards the front and actually heard everybody.

I did not stay for the entire 4 hours, but I was there for 2. I didn't see anybody else with "science. it works, bitches", but there was a lot of the 1000 people I never really saw. I got my picture taken by a couple of people early on before things got organized, but not with my phone so I don't have a picture of me.

The speakers mostly had good things to say, but there was a little repetition, as you might guess, because everybody pretty much has the same thing to say.

One theme was "we need to communicate to our friends in the red states that they should talk to their representatives about don't cut science, and what science does for THEM. They don't understand!"

I plan to attend the #StandUpForScience rally at Boston Common tomorrow at noon. I printed out a "Science. It Works, Bitches" cartoon (though not the original xkcd) to tape to both sides of a piece of cardboard, and I found my T-shirt with the Ferdinand Magellan quote, "The church says the Earth is flat. But I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church." Medieval "Science. It works, bitches"!

Grateful and proud of the work the #standupforscience team is doing to reinvigorate science advocacy at a time we need it most. Please participate in a rally near you tomorrow if you can! https://www.statnews.com/2025/03/06/stand-up-for-science-rallies-in-32-cities-on-friday-to-protest-trump-cuts-research/

Now is not the time for the scientific community to self-censor. We need to all unite together and get behind grassroots efforts like #standupforscience if we are to effectively overcome the attacks on science!

Gemeinsam für eine freie Wissenschaft! 🤝

Am 7. März um 13 Uhr startet vor der Universität Wien der #MarchforScience – eine Initiative von Wissenschafter*innen, die ihre Stimmen weltweit für eine freie Wissenschaft erheben. 🗣️
Die Universität Wien teilt dieses wichtige Anliegen.‼️🏛️

THIS FRIDAY: Join #standupforscience rallies all around the country to protest funding cuts, illegal firings, and censorship of scientists. In response to the attacks, one of the most important things we can do is to visually show that science has strong support in this country, so please join a rally in your location or organize a walkout if you can!

It is very interesting to see that this post on #standupforscience is gaining much more traction here on Mastodon (where there is no algorithm, just people boosting) than over on LinkedIn (where there is an algorithm). Hard to prove, but I would guess Microsoft decides to downrank any post that even just in a general sense could be viewed as kind-of-political (the text was the same as here).

I think Mastodon is very precious.

Please share:

On March 7, scientists and citizens across the US will #standup4freescience .

👉 Does anyone know whether any events are planned in Europe / Germany ?

Next week the world's top scientists will gather in Boston for the #AAASmtg.

In 2017, we held a #StandUpForScience rally at AAAS, which kicked off a year of huge protests organized by the scientific community, which helped fight off censorship and budget cuts.

This week would be a good time for a repeat...
