Marches in 10 Michigan Cities Will Celebrate Science April 22

Scientists and advocates across 10 Michigan cities will step out of their labs and call attention to the value of science in the March for Science on April 22. Launched by groups of scientists and researchers in Washington, D.C., earlier this year, the nonpartisan March for Science has expanded into 294 planned satellite marches across the nation and 394 worldwide. The 10 Michigan cities scheduled to participate on Earth Day are Lansing, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Midland, Houghton, Marquette, Sault Ste. Marie and Petoskey. U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence is scheduled to speak at the Detroit March, Weiler said. Lawrence, a Democrat, is expected to talk about what people can do after the march to influence their legislative representatives on science matters.
