The @standupforscience.bsky.social DC rally is on. What we are hearing from around the country: "this is big!" "biggest rally I have seen around here in years and years" The public cares about medical research--and students, GenZ, and other people too are ready to stand up.

Y’all this isn’t just a sign. It’s an OIL PAINTING. Art.

We kick off with @aniloza.bsky.social, who joins us to discuss today’s Stand Up For Science rallies and what he's heard from organizers and attendees. Plus, a scientist and a student share why they're fired up to attend local rallies.
