Science Scene

Leftists want to save bad science:

The campaign, named Stand Up For Science, describes itself on its website as a “grassroots operation” that is organized by university professors from different universities, but it is also “sponsored and supported” by seven different left-leaning organizations. Stand Up For Science plans to host “nationwide nerd parties” in 32 different cities across the U.S. “to defend science as a public good and pillar of social, political, and economic progress,” to get the attention of lawmakers in a “uniquely impactful way.” The upcoming protests are among the many recent efforts to contest President Donald Trump’s second administration. The Daily Caller News Foundation recently reported that a group of liberal academic elites also protested the admin’s cut to federal research funds. The campaign listed three major policy goals on its website, including ending alleged “censorship and political interference in science,” securing and expanding “publicly funded science” and defending “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in science,” as they claim that “attacks on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are attacks on science itself.”

No, it's an attack on woke "science." But thanks for playing...
