Thousands attended the 'Hands Off' protest in Tucson against Trump, with many scientists affected by cuts from federal agencies like NIH and EPA. The atmosphere of the protest was filled with messages about the importance of science, illustrated by a notable sign stating 'Science is not an alternative fact.' Despite the challenges, many scientists feel a collective responsibility to advocate for understanding and action on climate change, though some hesitate to engage in activism due to fear of compromising their work and independence.
The young woman holding a sign that said 'Science is not an alternative fact' exemplified the growing frustration among scientists facing job cuts and political interference.
Many scientists fear that engaging in activism could undermine their work and compromise their independence, leading to self-censorship in efforts to avoid political involvement.
