Science March was cold and windy in Wichita

By SJ Otto
The March for Science was fairly small this year, maybe about 20 people, here in Wichita, KS. It was real cold and windy. The March was this Saturday at the Historic Courthouse stairs. The local march was sponsored by the Air Capital Sceptics.
Science Marches were conducted all across the country Saturday, April 14.

From CNN:
Crowds turned out in cities around the world Saturday for the second annual March for Science.
Saturday's crowds were notably smaller than those that showed up for the first march in April 2017, but attendees expressed as much optimism and hope as they did last year.
According to the non-partisan March for Science organization, the main event was set to take place in Washington, while more than 230 satellite events were scheduled around the world in different forms, be they marches, rallies or science exhibitions.
"There definitely aren't as many people present this year, but the people and speakers here are equally as passionate to help advocate for science," said Mackenzie Mittleman, 24, who attended the march in Washington for a second year.
