Did You March For Science:
C-STEM Stands With Science!
On Saturday, April 22, 2017, the C-STEM team gathered at the first annual March for Science and marched with thousands of Houstonians. The March for Science is a celebration of our passion for science and a call to support and safeguard the scientific community. Recent policy changes have caused heightened worry among scientists,and the incredible and immediate outpouring of support has made clear that these concerns are also shared by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Great job to all of the organizers of the event. We stand with science!
