On Saturday, around 2000 people in Vancouver joined over 100,000 people worldwide in the first ever March for Science.

This solidarity follows ideological and politically-motivated attacks on evidence based policy, which have been documented from different levels of government around the world. Evidence for Democracy has even identified the threats facing publicly-funded science here in BC.

Those who spoke after the march, including our Executive Director, highlighted the importance of science, curiosity and evidence, while also challenging science and science-enthusiasts to do more to promote diversity and inclusivity within the scientific community.

If you missed those talks, you can find them on YouTube here.

Keep standing up for science!
