Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of scientists and science enthusiasts came out in force, rallying at more than 600 locations around the world to support robustly funded and publicly communicated science as a pillar of human freedom and prosperity. Many in the GSA community joined the March for Science, including a group at the Washington DC event, led by GSA President Lynn Cooley, Immediate Past President Stan Fields, and GENETICS Editor-in-Chief Mark Johnston. Catch up below on some of the GSA community’s photos and tweets of the events! And stay tuned for more from GSA on what we can all do to keep up the momentum from the March.
