Science not silence

Science is a tool for seeking answers. Politicians around the world are limiting and restricting scientists' ability to research, publish and communicate their findings.

Inconvenient facts are shamelessly replaced by 'alternative facts'. Scientific evidence is denied; written away or simply rejected. Rejection of scientific evidence by political and opinion leaders is a critical and urgent, global problem.
An alarming trend which cannot be denied anymore. Academics are jailed. Publicly funded scientists are censored or silenced (even in the US).

Imagine a world where people not only ignore scientific evidence, but consider to eliminate science entirely. Staying silent is a luxury we can no longer afford. We must stand together and support science. Like freedom of speech, we need freedom of science. Scientists should not be chained! April 22nd, a worldwide march for science will be held; the first step of a global movement to defend the vital role science plays in our health, safety, economics and governments.
