Anyone have some ideas for protest signs for the March for Science? The only one I can currently think of (in my cold-addled brain) is “Science Works, Bitches”. I know there must be better ones.

What do you think?

That should read:

Perhaps you could explain the March for Science, and what it’s protesting?

You can find a bunch by googling for “science t-shirts”.

Don’t. Instead, make a sign that is positive. I don’t know how it is in the US but in the UK cuts have been widespread over many sectors for years. The stupid protest against against austerity (as it’s known over here); the sensible promote their causes.

[This](https://www.thescientificparent.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/peer-review.jpg) would be a great protest sign for the march.

OK, this is _way_ too long for a protest sign, but maybe someone can figure out a way to summarize it.

“Science isn’t liberal. Science isn’t conservative. Science isn’t atheistic. Science isn’t Christian or Jewish or Muslim or Hindu.”

Nearly spat out half a mouthful of 805 while reading that. 😃 But it’s true!

Bring in some science of pasteurization and milk for this march. “Got Fresh Milk? It’s spoiled” with a picture of Louis underneath?
