As one of the original March for Science organizers, I couldn't be more excited to support a new team that is organizing another day of mass mobilization in support of science at a time when we need it most.

Stand Up For Science organizer Dr. Colette Delawalla was asked if she's worried about risking her career by getting involved in political organizing as a young scientist. Her answer is🔥

"Frankly, I don’t know that there’s going to be a job market if we don’t take some pretty extreme action. This is a five-alarm fire"

As earlier-career researchers, do you have concerns about how people in the field might respond to you now that you’re taking a step that some of them wouldn’t take or wouldn’t believe was appropriate? DELAWALLA: We’ve been fortunate in just the sheer amount of support that we’ve received publicly and also behind the scenes. At the same time, of course, this is a career risk: we’re early career scientists, and we’re attaching our names and faces to this movement, and that is inherently risky. We waited for somebody to stand up. We waited for people to employ their tenure, to employ their safety, to lead this movement. Frankly, I don’t know that there’s going to be a job market if we don’t take some pretty extreme action. This is a five-alarm fire. I want to have a job as a career scientist—research is my passion, and I want to do it as a career. If we don’t take a minute to pause our science and to stand up for what we believe in and try to push for policy change, that’s not going to be there. It feels really important at our stage to make sure that we’re doing what we can to make sure that we can be scientists.

@luckytran
It would be more efficient to scientific understand why the US has ended up in this mess (se my toot´s from the start) and then act along those lines. Otherwise the degeneration of society will continue even after Trumph depart - whenever that will be!

@luckytran I just checked my local site's signup page and there's over 2,000 people following it just in my city!! I thought we'd be lucky to see a few hundred.

I know the DC event is going to be massive-- they got Francis Collins and a bunch of others to be speakers. i hope it makes some noise!
