The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) recently signed an agreement officially lending its support to the national March for Science rally and teach-in in Washington, DC, scheduled for Earth Day, April 22. ASCB was among the first to uphold the event's mission to "unite the diverse universe of scientists and other community members in a non-partisan manner."
Erika Shugart, executive director of ASCB, says the society chose to partner with the March for Science because the gathering will assemble scientists from diverse backgrounds together with the citizens and decision-makers who directly benefit from scientific findings and innovations.
To facilitate participation by its membership, ASCB has launched an informational website – http://marchforscience.ascb.org/ – and is promoting the use of the hash tag #ascbmarches to help members quickly search for photos, events, comments, and other march-related communications online. Members of the public may visit the website for updates on ASCB activities related to the March for Science or follow ASCB on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
