Here are five highlights:
1. The idea for a Scientists’ March on Washington came about from a comment on a Reddit thread and quickly expanded to a Facebook group and Twitter handle.
2. A website also came into fruition, detailing the underpinnings of the movement: “This is a non-partisan issue that reaches far beyond people in the STEM fields and should concern anyone who values empirical research and science.”
3. The march will focus on issues such as climate change, government funding for scientists, transparency and evolution.
4. On the website, organizers also wrote: “There are certain things that we accept as facts with no alternatives.”
5. Organizers have yet to set a date for the march.
