March For Science

Join people around the globe for the upcoming March for Science on April 22, 2017. The demonstration is set to show the importance of science for improving people’s lives and benefiting society. 

The American Psychological Association (APA) is  an official partner of the event and urges more people to join as a way to advocate for psychological science. 

“We wholeheartedly support the aims of this march, which align with APA’s mission to advance the creation, communication and application of psychological knowledge to benefit society and improve people’s lives,” said Howard Kurtzman, PhD, APA’s acting executive director for science. “We encourage all psychologists, psychology students and their allies to join this broad, nonpartisan effort to support scientific research and the use of scientific evidence for the public good.”

The main march will take place in Washington, D.C., however satellite marches are scheduled to take place in cities all around the world. 

Jennifer Lai, a student in Palo Alto University’s M.S. Psychology program,  is helping to organize the Silicon Valley satellite march, one of three satellite marches that will be taking place in the Bay Area.
