Since the presidential change in February the science agencies in the States have been under attack. With a president that is obvious lying (or living by "Alternative Facts"), a congress with a majority of old conservative men and a government put together by people ran by greed and wealth, it is not only science that is under attack.
America seems to be changing, or maybe showing it's true colors. In any case, standing up for what you believe in: Truth, dignity and a world in prosper, has never been more important!
So here we are in DC. Marching through pouring rain. Exercising our civil rights with chants and humorous signs. What it helps, I don't know. But at least we're doing what we can to show our displeasure with the state of things.

And not only in the States is Science facing this problem. All over the world it seems people refuse to listen to reason and make up their own reality. It is scary and it makes me wonder where skills in science would be put to best use: doing research, teaching future generation or doing policy?
Maybe it is time to some serious career thinking!
