The BBC reports that former Congressman Rush Holt, now part of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), is the spokesman for a movement "standing up for science".
His remarks reflect growing concern among researchers that science is disregarded by President Trump.
Scientists across the US plan to march in DC on 22 April.
[...] "To see young scientists, older scientists, the general public speaking up for the idea of science. We are going to work with our members and affiliated organisations to see that this march for science is a success."
Mr Holt made his comments at the AAAS annual meting in Boston as President Trump appointed a fierce critic of the Environmental Protection Agency as its head. Scott Pruitt has spent years fighting the role and reach of the EPA.

"Perhaps you should stick to your own little binary world and comment on what you know best and leave the politics to the politicians."
You were so close!!!! YOU WERE SO FUCKING CLOSE!!!
You could have ended your comment before this sentence and had a watertight argument, but no! You go and reveal what you actually know to be right!
By your own admission, politicians should stick to politics, teachers should stick to teaching, scientists should stick to science, and actors/sportspeoples should stick to acting/sportsing—not politics!!!
