Questlove Speaks at March for Science: ‘We Need to Make Sure Science Belongs to the People’

Musician and multi-instrumentalist Questlove said science should belong to the masses at the March for Science in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. Questlove, one of the event’s co-hosts, spoke about the importance of science and facts during the new presidential administration as thousands of scientists gathered at hundreds of cities around the world on Earth Day in light of new policies affecting their work. “The rational scientific thought gets us out of the highest corners and to the most open, wide spaces,” he said. Referring to President Donald Trump as “that guy over there,” Questlove said making science accessible to people is now more important than ever. “Many people seem to be forgetting those facts and it’s been frustrating to watch as certain forces in our society try to squelch science or their refusal to believe in it or propose alternative realities and facts.
