Contribute

Are you a passionate about science advocacy and its role in everyday life? Are you a storyteller who wants to empower public engagement and participation in science? Well, the March for Science is looking for a few good writers and editors to contribute content to our blog, Science Not Silence, which will relaunch this November.

We will use our blog to tell stories that reflect the goals of our movement, to provide a platform for our partners, scientists, and other guest voices to share their thoughts and experiences as they relate to science and to build a sense of community.

The goal of Science Not Silence is to bolster science and science support by creating a body of work where readers can quickly and easily grasp:

1) The significance of science and why it is important to everyday life. We want to build bridges between science and everyday citizens. This means making science accessible. We want to develop the reader’s appreciation for the great diversity of science and how it contributes to supporting public policy and life. The blog will highlight the service role of science and how science supports the common good for all.

2) The importance of setting good policies that support science. This includes both documenting political threats to science and its ability to serve, and addressing the consequences that emerge when the knowledge and benefits produced by science are limited in their reach. We want to emphasize the need for science to serve a diverse body of people, and the importance of equitable access to science and the resources it provides.

3) How to advocate and support science. The blog will feature tools and approaches that readers can take advantage of as citizens and individuals to learn more. We want people to get involved and support science and science-based policymaking. We want to provide avenues for people to channel their passion into tangible calls to action.
