The Science March is idea that exploded overnight after a scientist tweeted, "Hell hath no fury like a scientist silenced."
The March for Science is an international movement, led by organizers distributed around the globe. This movement is taking place because of the simultaneous realization by thousands of people who value science in their lives that staying silent is no longer an option. There are marches being planned across the United States and internationally.
