marc THE MARCH FOR SCIENCE AS SEEN FROM HOME By feeds.scpr.org Published On :: Mon, 08 May 2017 00:00:00 -0700 The Loh LifeIn case you missed the March for Science, last month? I have the report! Not that I went, no. Science enthusiasts all, my household was planning on going— But then my younger teen daughter got felled by "bacteria"— Possibly brought on by a dubious "pizza day" at her science magnet. So I spent that Saturday at home, taking care of her— But we streamed the Washington DC and other marches, live on CNN! So here is my report! Let's quickly review the main points. Worldwide, there were 600-plus cities participating, with high levels of enthusiasm. The March for Science's stated mission was to be a positive, non-partisan march for scientists and scientific principles. That alone is such a wonderful, counterintuitive idea. Much humor and wit was seen. As I did not get to go, and make my own hilarious sign—? To honor the spirit of the occasion I would like to share two favorite jokes. First: How do you tell the difference between an introverted and an extroverted mathematician? For the whole time the introverted mathematician is talking to you, he looks down at his shoes. When the extroverted mathematician talks to you, the whole time he looks down at your shoes. Ba-dum-bum. I know I used the pronoun "he" in that joke— As if to imply all left-brained people are male. But no! So here's the saying from when I attended Caltech— Way back in the '80s— And the male to female ratio was 7 to 1. "Caltech: where the odds are good, but the good are odd." Now to some of the funny—and sometimes punny—March for Science signs: "If you're not the solution, you're the precipitate!" That was next to: "Protest Cosine, Protest Sine." Get it? Protest. . . Sine? Puns are hard on the radio. So let's finish with the more "meta": "What do we want? Evidence based research! When do we want it? After peer review!" Of course, there were less than non-partisan messages, too. Just reporting here? There were signs with the phrases "Black Hole" and "Absolute Zero" ghosted over our president's recognizeable silhouette. The live feed from San Francisco brought: "Trump believes there's no global warming, as nothing is hotter than Ivanka." That one made me snort, but I had to quickly tell my daughter, "that is totally inappropriate." We decided a good sign was: "Mitosis, Not Division." And a cute one on a dog that everyone can agree on. "Support Labs." Labs. Next week: Science is Love! This content is from Southern California Public Radio. View the original story at SCPR.org.

marc THE MARCH FOR SCIENCE AS SEEN FROM HOME By feeds.scpr.org Published On :: Mon, 15 May 2017 00:00:00 -0700 The Loh Life So, my 15 year old science magnet daughter and I experienced last month's exciting March for Science—! From home, as she was temporarily felled by some bacteria. Consuming an unscientific "cure" of chocolate pudding—? We watched the march on CNN. Now, the news changes so quickly you may not remember that just one month ago—? There were shock waves due to proposed massive federal budget cuts— Not just to climate change research, but to—surely the more non-controversial —National Institutes of Health. I mean, health? Who's anti-health? Even MacDonald's is serving apple slices now, and kale! The march was a mix of passion and fun. There were lots of great signs, including one with the classic line: If you're not the solution, you're the precipitate! Marchers came dressed as Einstein, dinosaurs, polar bears. Then again— And admittedly, at home, we were wearing bathrobes rather than labcoats—? A couple of humble notes. Some of the speakers in DC were less scientists than YouTube science explainers. And pure research scientists—not to mention philosophers—might question some of the applause lines. And I quote: "Science is inherently political!" "Science is objective, but it is not neutral!" What? Then some of the marchers chanted back, with a decided New Age lilt: "Science is hope!" "Science is our planet!" "Peace, love, science!" I heard myself grousing to my daughter: "Sure. It's like 'Nature.' To some, 'Nature' is a beautiful flower. But 'Nature' is also Stage 5 hurricanes and poison frogs who eat their own offspring. And—and pitcher plants! Have you seen pitcher plants?" The chants continued: "Health is science! Safety is science! Clean water is science! I yell at the TV: "PS: Nuclear missiles from North Korea? SCIENCE!" There were also heartfelt pleas from the stage for more "K-12 hands-on STEM-based learning." I sympathize. I marched for that when my daughters were in elementary school. Of course we want our children to be turned on to science— To the classroom volcanos comically exploding with baking soda. To the wonders of milk carton pea plants, sunny farms of ladybugs. But eventually, inexorably, comes The Ugly. The multiplication tables, long division, algebra, trig, then calculus, if a career in science is really being pursued. I just heard about a senior I know, an exceptional—and well-rounded—student. He has a 4.5 GPA and almost-perfect SAT's, nosebleed-high! But he has been shut out by all the UC's he applied to, including his third choice, UC San Diego. Mwah! SCIENCE! Still, quibbles aside, science is the future. We applaud all, and must forge on.
