The March for Science Chicago was a Rousing Success!
I was a part in helping to organize it (I was part of the Diversity Committee, and I also volunteered as a lead Safety Marshal - to help keep the crowd safe!)
Estimates are putting us on par with the main march in DC! http://resistancereport.com/news/attendance-numbers-march-science/
And honestly the organizers are saying in the Slack for it that we probably got up to 50,000! Which would make our march even bigger than the main one in DC!
I am so proud of our March not only because I was a part of it, but because of what it stands for. We’re not only looking to bring awareness of the importance of science for now, but to continue to do so in the future. That’s what the expo after the March was all about - showcasing the science of Chicago
And honestly, as a member of the Diversity Team, we were way better on that score than the DC march - which has been a bit of a PR nightmare for months on that score. The Chicago march has been committed to diversity in it’s team members, volunteers, and programming - from the public face of the the march, to the speakers at our rally. I can confirm this personally. And I am so proud of that.
(I was also interviewed by the Naperville Sun, mostly because I was one of the only members of the team from Naperville ;’D)
I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished. Chicago is a town of Diversity, of Political Activism, and more than anything else, a town of Science. And I am proud to be from here.
If you attended the march in Chicago - hooray! If you heard a loud female voice shouting for you to get off the sidewalk, or trying to get people into the chants, that was probably me.
If you attended the march in other cities, great! Showing support for science right now is more important than ever.
Here is the Chicago March in Action! It was so great.
Thank you everyone! Remember, the fight doesn’t end here. We have to keep supporting Science!
March for Science Chicago hosts 'The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists' Executive Director and Publisher, Rachel Bronson, and Daniel Holz, Associate Professor in Physics, Astronomy & Astrophysics, the Enrico Fermi Institute, and the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics, at the University of Chicago. We will sit down and discuss the strategy and decisions behind moving the Doomsday Clock.
I’m Marching for Science with my colleagues from the Field Museum here in Chicago on April 22nd, and with thousands of other people in marches happening all across the globe. You can find out more about the March on their website - or find a satellite march near you.
See you there!?
‘Last year was bad enough, this is a disaster,’ says one expert as Australia Research Council finds fresh damage across 8,000km
On April 22nd, 2017, we will be marching in order to protect the funding of institutions that conduct research such as this one on coral bleaching. Will you be joining us?
In science, the word 'theory' has a very specific meaning that's easy for nonscientists to misunderstand or misconstrue. Here's what a theory must withstand to be accepted by the scientific community.
WE ARE OFFICIAL!
Rally: 10 AM March: 11 AM Expo: 12 PM
This has just been an unreal journey, and we can't wait to take the next step with you amazing folks. Our route has been approved by the city.
We enter at Congress Parkway, Rally near Jackson, and MARCH *TO* SCIENCE AT THE MUSEUM CAMPUS (Woo! The Field Museum)!
If you can't tell: we're excited. Beyond excited. So much more information is to come, but check out:
Website: https://sciencemarchchicago.org/marchday.html Press Release: https://medium.com/…/march-for-science-chicago-releases-ral…
Thank you all for your patience and your support. Coordinating one of the largest Marches for Science in the world has been just an unbelievable honor; we can't wait to see you on April 22.
Fundraising update: We're 1/3 of the way to our $85k goal. Donate athttps://sciencemarchchicago.org/donate.html
While science and its impacts on beliefs and our world will always be the subject of debate, in general it has been accepted that the scientists themselves should largely stay on the sidelines. The recent election has triggered a reevaluation of this norm.
“Read on to see how some of the brightest minds in the world of science are approaching this key inflection point.”
Will YOU be marching with us, Chicago?
The hallways of math and science history are overflowing with the achievements of white men, from Sir Isaac Newton to Steve Jobs; their faces are printed into elementary school textbooks everywhere, and their achievements have been indelibly drilled into our minds, with countless awards and institutions named after them. To be brilliant is a gift, but who gets to be remembered as such involves privilege.
Chicago will March for these three women in a little less than 4 weeks! Will you be joining us?
The best T. rex is nonbinary, guys!!!
I support them
casual reminder that this blog is trans friendly: the main mod is a non-binary trans guy that uses they/the m and he/him pronouns equally!
This blog is also trans friendly ^_^ I am nonbinary and utilize she/her and ey/em. Just a fun reminder. And Jack and Ryuu are both fantastic allies.
It’s Pi Day. The day of the year when the date matches the first three numbers of pi — 3.14. Though we should not forget the absolute…
Pi Guides the Way
It may be irrational but pi plays an important role in the everyday work of scientists at NASA.
What Is Pi ?
Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It is also an irrational number, meaning its decimal representation never ends and it never repeats. Pi has been calculated to more than one trillion digits,
Why March 14?
March 14 marks the yearly celebration of the mathematical constant pi. More than just a number for mathematicians, pi has all sorts of applications in the real world, including on our missions. And as a holiday that encourages more than a little creativity – whether it’s making pi-themed pies or reciting from memory as many of the never-ending decimals of pi as possible (the record is 70,030 digits).
While 3.14 is often a precise enough approximation, hence the celebration occurring on March 14, or 3/14 (when written in standard U.S. month/day format), the first known celebration occurred in 1988, and in 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution designating March 14 as Pi Day and encouraging teachers and students to celebrate the day with activities that teach students about pi.
5 Ways We Use Pi at NASA
Below are some ways scientists and engineers used pi.
Keeping Spacecraft Chugging Along
Propulsion engineers use pi to determine the volume and surface area of propellant tanks. It’s how they size tanks and determine liquid propellant volume to keep spacecraft going and making new discoveries.
Getting New Perspectives on Saturn
A technique called pi transfer uses the gravity of Titan’s moon, Titan, to alter the orbit of the Cassini spacecraft so it can obtain different perspectives of the ringed planet.
Learning the Composition of Asteroids
Using pi and the asteroid’s mass, scientists can calculate the density of an asteroid and learn what it’s made of–ice, iron, rock, etc.
Measuring Craters
knowing the circumference, diameter and surface area of a crater can tell scientists a lot about the asteroid or meteor that may have carved it out.
Determining the Size of Exoplanets
Exoplanets are planets that orbit suns other than our own and scientists use pi to search for them. The first step is determining how much the light curve of a planet’s sun dims when a suspected planets passes in front of it.

How are you this morning? Hungover? Dr. S.P. Sing of Chicago explains why. Enjoy. Or maybe just go back to sleep.
