Varför en Science March i Sverige? Eller snarare: Varför inte? Det var i alla fall så jag tänkte när jag skickade ut en tweet för någon vecka sedan och undrade om någon tyckte som jag. Sedan dess har det twittrats och diskuterats som bara den! Nu finns en Facebook-grupp och ett twitterkonto. Följ oss om du vill vara med eller om du vill ha mer information. Tanken är att vi demonstrerar FÖR vetenskapen och dess betydelse i samhället, inte MOT något. Och här är varför jag är med, kanske det kan inspirera?

So, why I am marching for science? Because I believe in knowledge, curiosity and critical thinking. The successive digging for new knowledge, implies that today’s knowledge is not the same as ‘truth’ (in many cases not even ‘facts’). But it is the best we have and the more people get involved the better. I have spent my working life trying to understand and develop the communication of science, between researchers with different expertise and perspectives as well as between researchers and “the public”, politicians, school children etc. The more I learn about this, the more I believe that we should not underestimate people outside the scientific system in understanding complex issues, but involve them in the process of science and let them ask their questions and share there views. A march for science could be a celebration for science and what it means for our society, ourselves and our future.
