A crowd of people listening to a speaker.

A group of friends holding up signs supporting science.

Strength in numbers for the scientific enterprise! Very happy to have joined the Philadelphia #StandUpForScience rally today, and to have seen so many other people there. These are hard times to be in science and science policy in a lot of ways, but inspiring ones as well!
