Starting at 1:00pm at District NHV
470 James Street, New Haven, CT 06513Last year we marched to stand up and show our support of science and the scientific community. This year, the New Haven March for Science will be a celebration of science in the community and an opportunity for advocacy for scientifically sound policymaking. It will feature selections from the Yale Science Diplomats "Science in the News" series of talks, TED-talks on the science behind Connecticut's greatest challenges, an “Ask Me Anything” talk section, and organizations working to elevate the use of evidence in policymaking.
This is a FREE event with something for all age groups. Registering for the event is optional and helps us estimate attendance, but you don't need to register to attend. We welcome you to stop by for the entire event or just for a few minutes - there will be rolling demos and speakers throughout the event
