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.

I'm pretty sure Prof. Wolff originated that last term.
I have to go down to item #6 to see his hit, however.
He has a weekly hour-long broadcast on a bunch of Pacifica Radio affiliates where he talks about Comparative Economics (Socialism vs Capitalism).
He has a webcast of that as well. Economic Update [rdwolff.com]
