More from the Post article
Some people wore lab coats. Some wore pink, knitted “brain” hats. Sam McCoy, 27, who traveled from North Carolina, carried a homemade sign certain to baffle anyone lacking an understanding of P Values and the null hypothesis. But most of the signs were more straightforward:
●“In peer review we trust.”
●“The oceans are rising, and so are we.”
●“If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate.”
As it happens, the National Math Festival is also in Washington — so there’s an unusual number of people in town who can recite pi to more than five digits.
Some signs jabbed the current occupant of the White House:
●“Hey Trump — Think You Can Stifle Science? Ask Galileo How That Worked Out!”
●“Empirical Data Trumps Imperial Alt-Facts.”
Lots of uses of the periodic table. |
Here we all are getting ready to march. |
