Facts aren’t optional.
It’s one reason among many that I marched for science.

Did you march? I’m at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine conference. It’s more or less the conference to go to for MRI folks. There was a break in the conference for a small rally before the march. I was surprised and pleased to see so many people march for science here.

I’m marching for science, are you? Science relies on facts. Science uses logic and facts. That doesn’t mean that scientists and science enthusiasts don’t have emotions or political thoughts.
I love science and science communication. I really enjoy cutting through the jargon and interacting with people who are curious about the world and want to use science to better understand the world. You don’t have to be a scientist to march for science.
However, I’m marching for science because I am a scientist. Many professions, such as teachers, doctors, and fireman, can help people in a direct, personal, and profound way. When I was in graduate school, I was working on artificial blood. I imagined how many people that could help if my research led to a commercial product. I have that same passion in my current research, using imaging techniques to better characterize responses to cancer therapy. Without science, I could not do what I do. That’s why I march for science.
