Since we now apparently live in a world where we have to convince our government that science is important, a March for Science was held on Earth Day, April 22, 2017. Scientists and general supporters of facts and reality came out in droves to defend science, and they brought the snark with them.
Here are some of our favorite moments.
SO many clever signs:

Thank you, marchers, for braving the precipitation to be part of the solution! (Because it was raining in some cities! Get it? Eh, I don’t know. I’m a writer, not a scientist. My engineer husband laughed, but he loves me.)
