People around the world marched for science on Saturday. Some of the slogans, such as “There is no planet B”, “I’m with her…” and an arrow pointing at a picture of the earth, or “Alternative facts are the square root of minus one”, were humorous, however the message was serious: science underpins our success as a species and could determine our survival.
