T
he March for Science is expected to make history with hundreds of thousands of people attending rallies across the US and around the world on Saturday in support of science. In attendance will be not just scientists and doctors but also educators, kids, environmentalists, and others.
Of course, one of the best parts of any march is the signs — and the early evidence is that this march will definitely deliver on that front.
So, as a preview of what’s to come Saturday, we’ve rounded up the most clever signs marchers are making, and what our readers say the march means to them.

“Are we marching because of NIH budget cuts? Sure. More importantly, we are marching because scientists must let the public know that ‘alternate facts’ are not science.”

“I am the son of a refugee from Nazi-occupied Europe and the grandson of refugees from Tsarist Russia. I [am] marching in honor of the immigrants who came to this country and contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge and to improvements in health that have benefited the people of Boston and the citizens of this planet.”
Dr. Thomas Michel, marching in Boston

Shouldn’t the sign in your featured image say, “Fewer invasions, more equations?” It doesn’t help the cause of higher learning if signs are grammatically incorrect.
So true!
I can’t stand grammatical corrections in a comment section. That’s all you’ve got? Besides~ Less has always been More. Get it? (nevermind_)
A more appropriate Rick and Morty quote:
Morty: Oh yeah, but I don’t think it’s about logic, Rick. I think the word has just become a symbolic issue for powerful groups that feel like they’re doing the right thing.
Rick: Well, that’s retarded.
