The March for Science: A CSN Photo Album

Two weeks ago (on the 47th annual Earth Day), about 150,000 people across 600 cities around the world gathered together for the March for Science. Our last blog post included a list of interesting pre-march readings, and you can check out more thoughtful reports and analyses from afterward at the bottom of this post. In the meantime, here’s a gallery of photos taken by a variety of our students, faculty, and staff from the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology (CSN) at several different marches (including Washington D.C. and Berlin!)
