On Saturday, April 22 at 10 a.m., thousands will gather downtown to represent San Diego in the nearly 500-city strong March For Science. The walk will begin at the San Diego Civic Center, located at 1100 Third Ave., proceeding to Waterfront Park. In just a few short months, an innocuous internet comment has morphed into a massive, volunteer-led celebration of science across America and throughout six continents. Amid this historic event, San Diegans will gather to hold up the region’s scientific prowess as second to none.
A crowd of 8,000 San Diegans have already responded online to converge in downtown San Diego on April 22 for this family-friendly, nonpartisan, educational event.
Neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran, Scripps CO2 Program Director Ralph Keeling, and others, will speak at the event. There will also be a pop-up science expo showcasing San Diego’s most exciting science developments.
