Watch: Bill Nye, lawmakers rally against Trump cuts to science research
Star scientist Bill Nye and others in the field held a rally Friday afternoon at the Lincoln Memorial.
Former National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) were expected to join the scientists for the “Stand Up for Science” event on the National Mall.
The protest is centered around President Trump’s attempts to cut government spending, particularly drastic cuts in funding for research institutions.
Friday’s event, according to The Washington Post, was something of a revival of the 2017 “March for Science” during Trump’s first term.
The rally was scheduled to begin at noon EST.
