"why is a short but powerful word". Hear Artash Nath from @wonrobot talk about the importance of #curiosity and asking the when why has propelled humankind to progress! We need to engage our youth, our teachers, our politicians, and ourselves to continually ask and learn.

As the public, we can attend multiple science outreach programs like those at the @ROMtoronto @OntScienceCtr , and parents can encourage #Curiosity in their children. Science can then become second nature and just as prevalent as music! Listen to @MarianneMader inspiring talk!

Dr. Mehran Alaee talks about to lingering effects of the past where scientists still feel unable to freely talk about their science. We still have more work to do! #evidencebasedresearch #whyareyoumarching

You can't be something you can't see. @DoinaOncel talks about the need of more women scientists for young girls to look up to. Additionally, she touches upon the importance of equal education including to those in underprivileged communities. @hEr_VOLUTION #diversitymatters

Communicating the importance of science to the public, politicians, and decision makers is the most importantly challenge that we need to undertake. Listen to the message that Dr. Mehrdad Hariri has to share with #marchforscience. @MehrdadHariri

@khaledmilaji speaking as a physician, humanitarian, and public health advocate about the importance of evidence based research, and it's global impact, removing the barriers between access to research centers and the public, be they physical or political. #whyareyoumarching
Though the #marchforscience was almost a month ago, the speeches are still relevant and integral! Here Gabriel Miller talks about the importance of #diversity not only in people but also topics.
