Bellingham March for Science takes aim at ‘political agendas on all sides’

Among those who spoke was Melissa Rice, an assistant professor of Planetary Science at Western Washington University, who drew cheers from the crowd after summarizing her work: “I drive robots on the planet Mars.”

“We cannot sit idly by while there are forces at work to undermine science, while evidence is being undermined by illogical fallacies and by political agendas on all sides,” Rice said.
