THE MARCH FOR SCIENCE | Rollins students, faculty, and staff took to the streets in April to join the March for Science Atlanta. The event was among hundreds of Marches for Science around the world, including the one that got the movement started in Washington, D.C. "I believe the march helped energize many people who never thought of becoming activists,'" says Alvaro Alonso, associate professor of epidemiology, who helped organize Emory marchers. "It has helped scientists to realize that we need to be more engaged in the policy process and be advocates for investment in scientific research."
