“Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is…delving in.” –Sally Ride

WHAT: March for Science PDX 2019

We did it! 

SEE MORE AT THE LINK!!

Brains to the Streets!

So many people asking questions, inspired by young scientists, holding brains!

Hmmm…this is no longer a free, accessible, exuberant outdoor March, but an indoor “Science Fest,” with admission charges (!). We won’t formally attend, as there is limited access, and less focus on important policy implications of publicly funded research…

But we think a little “guerrilla neuroscience” might be fun..! 

So today we’ll take to the streets with the Noggin Cart…

…and answer any questions people have about brains..!

“I want to speak to people directly as much as possible.” –Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

A March for Science should not be a paywalled, privileged-access event. 

So much to explore, learn, make and apply!

Let’s connect with our community, and openly explore policy implications of neuroscience research on (for example) 1. sleep and school start times, 2. homelessness, mental health, policing, youth incarceration, immigration and government-sanctioned family separation, bias, dehumanized perception, child development and brains, 3. drugs and federal drug scheduling, 4. vaccines and preventable diseases  –  and a host of other critical topics where science can have a positive impact on us all!

WHERE: Meet at University of Oregon Portland, 70 Northwest Couch Street, Portland OR 97209

WHEN: Saturday, May 11, 2019, 1-1:30pm (we’ll gather then) – 4pm

It’s going to be HOT, so we’ll bring plenty of water! Bring extra, too!

TAKE ACTION

Check out MORE photos from past, FREE public science marches…

Marches aimed at supporting scientific research, education and outreach, asking questions, holding brains, making art  –  & calling unabashedly for evidence-based research to inform public policy! (We ❤️ this mission)

And happily this month, there are genuine, paywall-free Marches for Science taking place in New York City, and a host of other cities around the world..!

See what we’ve done at March for Science in past years…
