Stand up for Science 2025 rally in front of the Boston State House this afternoon! Several thousand in attendance. Good speakers, great signage.

A crowd of several thousand people standing on a sloped lawn of the Boston Common, facing away from the camera toward the rally stage. Many in the crowd are holding up homemade signs which have clever science-related puns on them, or other science-themed messages. One says: "Without SCIENCE it is just a GUESS!!". Another says: "SCIENCE IS NOT A POLITICAL GAME It is the foundation of OUR FUTURE". In the background is the Massachusetts State House with its iconic gold dome. Above is a blue sky with a few fluffy clouds racing by on this windy day.
60-year-old white lady (me) bundled up against the cold and wind in a snowboard jacket, fleece scarf and knitted hat. I'm smiling broadly and holding a homemade sign that says: "Healthy food, sturdy homes, safe cars, good medicine, cool movies, your phone ---> ALL BROUGHT TO YOU BY SCIENCE"
Someone in the crowd holding up a handwritten cardboard sign that says "GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUNDING FOR THEIR RESEARCH"
A few more of the signs being held up by rally-goers. One on the left says "Nobody voted for project 2025. Impeach now". One in the foreground says "I <3 SCIENCE". One on the right features a hand-drawn mandala shaped like the earth with plants growing out of it and says "I <3 SCIENCE" and "SCIENCE FOR THE FUTURE"
