March for Science
Welcome!
This is the subreddit of the 2017 March for Science at Washington, D.C. Being a scientist is not necessary to participate! All you need is an appreciation for science and a desire to communicate to our elected officials the importance of science to Americans.
The march will be held on April 22, 2017!

Why is the upvote to comment ratio on this sub so weird?
Just to give a few examples:
I almost never see this on any other subreddits, usually, by the time a thread has gotten 250 upvotes there's a substantial amount comments to follow. Especially on subjects which are worth debating and commenting on.
Yet this subreddit is a total outlier, with a steady stream of upvotes and almost nonexistent engagement. Time and time again posts from MarchForScience show up in my feed, and time and time again they have close to zero engagement.

Undercutting regulations only benefits polluters- this rule will let the EPA ignore the overwhelming consensus of scientific evidence that air pollution is harmful when deciding how to regulate pollution.
