It was a rainy day in Washington, DC — but that didn’t stop thousands from gathering on the National Mall to voice their support for science.
The March for Science in Washington was one of nearly 500 marches around the world scheduled on April 22, 2017—Earth Day. Science Friday‘s Danielle Dana, Otherhood's Catherine Whelan and Lauren Owens Lambert from the GroundTruth Project were all on the ground to get a sense of what it was like.
Here are a few of their photos:
