March for Science, 22 April 2017
SCIENCE, NOT SILENCE
Science influences very different aspects of our daily life. It is critical to health, economics, food security, and safety. Being part of an iGEM team let us get an even closer look on what it means to be a scientist and how important the acknowledgement from public policy and society is for our work. To celebrate science and strengthen the role of science in policymaking our iGEM team joined the March for Science in Dresden on April 22, 2017. The goals of the march were support for evidence-based policy making, government funded research and transparency. The main “Scientists March on Washington” was supported by a series or marches in more than 600 other cities across the world. Our international team represents a diverse and inclusive scientific community that is one of the ideals behind the march of science. Furthermore, the issue of acceptance of the consensus on climate change and evolution is something we also feel strongly about and what is represented by our iGEM goes green initiative. As young scientist, we walked through the baroque city center of Dresden to demonstrate for the value that scientific research has for our community. Scientifically proven facts should be taken more seriously in political decisions. Showing solidarity with the world wide scientific community and representing our values and interests was an impressive experience. We march forward with Science.
