I enjoyed seeing the signs carried by young kids to grown adults. I noticed people were marching by themselves or with groups. I saw faculty I knew from area universities, medical doctors dressed in scrubs, and tie-die shirts and lab coats. It was clear that this March had support from the widest range of ages, occupations, and more. The group was spirited in their walk down Market Street from City Hall to Penn&#8217;s Landing (and yes, our pace got quicker as the skies opened up and the rain poured down).</p> <p>But &#8220;the moment&#8221; for me during the March&#8230; it was not when I saw a little girl holding a sign with a tribute to NASA&#8217;s Katherine Johnson. It was not when the news crews were lined up on the street and pulling people out for interviews, eager to talk about topics such as proposed budget cuts to the EPA. It was the moment when Market Street crossed between some of Philadelphia&#8217;s classic landmarks. There is one point on Market Street where to the left, I had the National Constitution Center, and to the right, was Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. Here we were, engaging in a democratic practice, in the heart of the birthplace of our nation. It gave me chills. Although there were some chants during the march about &#8220;peer review&#8221;, the video below captures the battle cry before/during/after the March:</p> <p><iframe src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551if_/https://psu.app.box.com/embed/s/ls9x5cr2w2139sa4i5z5yo39xcqp1mk5" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" height="400" frameborder="0" width="500"></iframe></p> <p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7145" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551im_/http://blogs.agu.org/geoedtrek/files/2017/04/5weekactionplan-232x300.jpeg" alt="" height="300" width="232" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551im_/http://blogs.agu.org/geoedtrek/files/2017/04/5weekactionplan-232x300.jpeg 232w, https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551im_/http://blogs.agu.org/geoedtrek/files/2017/04/5weekactionplan-768x994.jpeg 768w, https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551im_/http://blogs.agu.org/geoedtrek/files/2017/04/5weekactionplan-791x1024.jpeg 791w, https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551im_/http://blogs.agu.org/geoedtrek/files/2017/04/5weekactionplan.jpeg 927w" sizes="(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px"/>Many people were busy arguing whether we &#8220;should&#8221; have to March for Science, but it was important for us to remember that we &#8220;could&#8221; march.</p> <p>So what&#8217;s next? There are plenty of thoughts on how to move forward. The March for Science has outlined a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551/https://www.marchforscience.com/blog/2017/4/23/announcing-the-week-of-action" target="_blank">week of action</a>, while AGU offers some <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551/http://blogs.agu.org/sciencecommunication/2017/04/24/now-now-go-work/" target="_blank">suggestions</a>, including a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551/http://sharingscience.agu.org/takeaction/" target="_blank">5-week action plan</a>. A statement has been issued jointly by AGU, AAAS, ACS, Sigma Xi, and more titled &#8220;<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170427101551/https://news.agu.org/press-release/community-of-scientific-societies-applauds-march-for-science-recommits-to-foster-public-support-engagement-in-science-through-their-global-memberships/" target="_blank">Community of Scientific Societies Applauds March for Science, Recommits to Foster Public Support, Engagement in Science through their Global Memberships</a>.&#8221;</p> <p>What&#8217;s next for myself? I&#8217;m no longer on the sidelines. For years, I&#8217;ve let others do the speaking and defend my right to do science. I&#8217;ve been bringing the theme of &#8220;why Earth science matters&#8221; to my students through my courses &#8211; and that was pretty much it for my actions. But now, it is time for me to talk more to my non-STEM colleagues, neighbors, friends &#8211; time to share my own stories about and passion for science, what&#8217;s happening on Planet Earth, and what each of us can do. I&#8217;ve proposed a session for the AGU Fall Meeting on science advocacy. I want to do my part to keep the momentum going from the March for Science, so stay tuned&#8230;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <style type="text/css"> #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left;
