The March for Science (formerly known as the Scientists' March on Washington)[4] was a series of rallies and marches held in Washington, D.C., and more than 600 other cities across the world on Earth Day, April 22, 2017.[5][6][7] According to organizers, the march is a non-partisan movement to celebrate science and the role it plays in everyday lives.[8] The goals of the marches and rallies were to emphasize that science upholds the common good and to call for evidence-based policy in the public's best interest.[7][9]
The March for Science organizers and supporters say that support for science should be nonpartisan.[10][11][12] The march is being organized by scientists skeptical of the agenda of the Trump administration,[11] and critical of Trump administration policies widely viewed as hostile to science.[13] The march's website states that an "American government that ignores science to pursue ideological agendas endangers the world."[10][11]
Particular issues of science policy raised by the marchers include support for evidence-based policymaking,[13] as well as support for government funding for scientific research, government transparency, and government acceptance of the scientific consensus on climate change and evolution.[10][11] The march is part of growing political activity by American scientists in the wake of the November 2016 elections and the 2017 Women's March.[13][12][14]
Robert N. Proctor, a historian of science at Stanford University, stated that the March for Science was "pretty unprecedented in terms of the scale and breadth of the scientific community that's involved" and was rooted in "a broader perception of a massive attack on sacred notions of truth that are sacred to the scientific community."[15]
Background
Founding Fathers and past presidents
Several Founding Fathers of the United States had an interest in science. Benjamin Franklin was a scientist with his foundational discoveries on electricity.[16] "Like Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, and George Washington were all avid students of the natural and physical world."[17]
A number of later presidents had interests in science and promoted pro-science policies; these include Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush[18] George W. Bush and Barack Obama.[19][20] A 2010 editorial in the scientific journal Nature warned of "a growing anti-science streak on the American right" and argued that the rising trend threatened the country's future, which "crucially depends on education, science and technology."[21][22] Writing in the Scientific American, Shawn Lawrence Otto, author of The War On Science,[23] wrote: "It is hard to know exactly when it became acceptable for U.S. politicians to be antiscience."[24]
Donald Trump
As a candidate in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump referred to climate change as a hoax.[25] He also promised to resume construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline and roll back U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations adopted by the Obama administration.[26]
After Trump's election, his transition team sought out specific U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) employees who had worked on climate change during the Obama administration.[27] Prior to Trump's inauguration, many climate scientists began downloading climate data from government websites that they feared might be deleted by the Trump administration.[28] Other actions taken or promised by the Trump administration inspired the march, including pulling out of the Paris Agreement,[25] the stances of his Cabinet nominees, the freezing of research grants,[29] and a gag order placed on scientists in the EPA regarding dissemination of their research findings.[1][30][31] In February 2017, William Happer, a possible Trump science advisor with skeptical views on human caused global warming, described an area of climate science as "really more like a cult" and its practitioners "glassy-eyed".[32] ScienceInsider reported Trump's first budget request as "A grim budget day for U.S. science" because it contained major funding cuts to NOAA's research and satellite programs, the EPA's Office of Research and Development, the DOE's Office of Science and energy programs, the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Institutes of Health, and other science agencies.[33]
Planning
The idea to create a march was inspired by the 2017 Women's March of January 21, 2017, and originated from a discussion in Reddit.[1][34] The organization created a Facebook group, which grew from 200 members to 300,000 in less than a week.[35][34] Individual scientists have both applauded and criticized this development.[36]
It was announced on March 30 that Bill Nye, Mona Hanna-Attisha, and Lydia Villa-Komaroff would headline the march, and serve as honorary co-chairs.[2] The protest was set to occur on Earth Day,[37] with satellite rallies planned in hundreds of cities across the world.[5]
During the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Boston, scientists held the "Rally to Stand Up for Science" at Copley Square on February 19.[38][39] Before April, enthusiasts found existing knitting patterns for a hat shaped like a brain and proposed it as a symbol of solidarity for the march in analogy with the pussyhat project.[40]

Reception
Professor Robert Proctor of Stanford University said that the March for Science was similar to other efforts by scientists such as Physicians for Social Responsibility, however, the scale was larger because "there's a broader perception of a massive attack on sacred notions of truth that are sacred to the scientific community."[172]
Support
On January 26, 2017, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont expressed his support for the march, congratulating "those scientists and researchers who are fighting back".[173] U.S. Representative Bill Foster of Illinois, a physicist and the only current member of Congress with a Ph.D. in a natural sciences field, will join the march, "not as a Democratic member of Congress, but as a scientist."[174] Foster said that he viewed the march as political, but not partisan, saying, "if you see a specific policy that is inconsistent with the known principles of science, every citizen who is also a scientist should speak out."[174]
In February, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (the nation's largest scientific organization) and other science groups announced their support for the march.[2] Rush Holt Jr., the chief executive officer of the AAAS, expressed support for scientist involvement in politics.[175]
Criticism
A number of scientists voiced concerns over the march. Sylvester James Gates warned that "such a politically charged event might send a message to the public that scientists are driven by ideology more than by evidence".[176] Climate change skeptic William Happer[177] stated that "there’s no reason to assume the president is against science" while regarding the march.[176] Writing in the New York Times, Robert S. Young argued that the march will "reinforce the narrative from skeptical conservatives that scientists are an interest group and politicize their data, research and findings for their own ends" and that it would be better for scientists to "march into local civic groups, churches, county fairs and, privately, into the offices of elected officials."[178]
Responding to criticism surrounding the political nature of the march, meteorologist and columnist Eric Holthaus wrote that the scientific field "has always been political" and referred to the example of Galileo Galilei's confrontation with the political order. Holthaus wrote that the scientists must also protest when "truth itself is being called into question".[179]
Follow-up
Following the march, the organizers of the March for Science encouraged people to a "Week of Action", with an outline daily actions.[180] They also wanted marchers to tell their elected officials why they marched.
