As President Trump resumes office, his administration is intensifying its attacks on federal scientists, leading to layoffs and funding cuts. In response, a coalition of early-career researchers is organizing the 'Stand Up for Science' rallies on March 7 across major U.S. cities. These rallies aim to celebrate the importance of science in society, echoing the previous March for Science protests. Key organizers discuss their motivations for activism, emphasizing their personal connection to the importance of scientific research and its necessity in addressing societal issues like addiction.
I was just really mad. At the end of the day, I just want to do my research. I really think that studying addiction is important, and all science is important.
The network of stationary rallies is set to take place eight years after the March for Science protests that met Trump's first administration.
