MARCH FOR SCIENCE, Washington, DC

  • April 22, 2017

 

On April 22, hundreds of thousands of people around the world gathered together to champion the role science plays in promoting the common good. COSSA staff gathered with social and behavioral scientists to march down the streets of Washington, DC and share the importance of our sciences in particular in advancing our health, well-being, economies, and safety. We thank everyone who marched in support of the social sciences in Washington and around the world!
