Stand Up for Science Rally in Copley Square this Afternoon
Who would ever have thought we'd have to be standing up for science? I went to the scientists' rally this afternoon to lend my support. It was great to be in a crowd of academics, graduate students, college students, and other supporters of the quest for truth, facts, knowledge, of whom we have so many in Boston.
