PLOS Science Wednesday: Hi reddit, we’re Kristen, Stephanie and Valorie.
We organized the March for Science events in DC and San Francisco. We’re
taking your questions on what’s coming next – Ask Us Anything!
Abstract
Update: We just learned Kristen, MFSSF lead organizer, will not be
joining this AMA. Stephanie will be representing MFSSF in this forum. Hi
Reddit, My name is Valorie Aquino, and I am a PhD Candidate in
Anthropology at the University of New Mexico. My research reconstructs
and compares original, high-resolution archaeological and
paleoclimatological records to better understand the articulation of
climate volatility and politics in the ancient Maya world. I am an
organizer with the March for Science DC, where my role is Co-chair. My
name is Stephanie Fine Sasse and I am Co-Founder & Creative Director at
The People’s Science. My work focuses on improving the relationship
between science, society, and the individual through educational
technology, informal learning, and interactive STEAM experiences. I am
also an organizer with the March for Science SF, where my role is Chair
of the Partners & Programming committees. I also supported the national
team in their Week of Action and initial post-March development. With
over 600 satellite marches worldwide, there’s no doubt that March for
Science was an incredible moment. Now the question on everyone’s mind is
how we can turn that moment into a movement. That’s no easy feat, but I
can’t tell you how excited I am that we have this chance to try. You can
