Salt Lake City was one of over 500 participating cities to join in the first-ever world-wide March for Science on Saturday, April 22.
Other cities who marched to support efforts in science sprawled across six continents, including London, Geneva, and Berlin.
In January, the protestors who demanded respect and funding for STEM research started planning the events online. When all mentions of climate change were deleted from the White House website and after viewing Trump’s budget blueprint released in early March that showed scientific funding was not a priority of the administration, the event continued to grow.
