Here's the full script of my Capitol Hill speech in support of science (with alt text) Context: I was on the @wclivestream.bsky.social walk team supporting Syl Foisy as he walked from Central Park to Capitol Hill to deliver letters to lawmakers (I'm still working on that last line in the script)
A screenshot of my speech, showing the following text:

"I got into science to save the Earth. That sounds like a 4th graders’ naïve dream, and I was hoping around that time that I’d eventually be adopted by a pod of dolphins.

But then I grew up. And I stayed in science to help Earth’s people.

When a scientist sounds alarmed about the future of the Earth, it’s because our work shows us that the Earth is becoming a deadlier place for humans to live.

The good news is that our work also shows what we can do to protect each other. Weather and climate scientists have spent decades figuring out what’s coming and how to tell people about it so they can stay safe. Past government investments in science have made our country a world leader in weather and climate prediction. We developed the first computerized weather forecasts, the first computer models of large-scale climate impacts, and an unparalleled network of real-world measurements.

But now, the safety and security of American people are being put at risk. Past actions and current proposals from our own government are designed to radically change the way science works in the United States. Proposed actions include drastically cutting funding for science, limiting the types of science that can receive support, and preventing scientists from sharing our results with each other, with policymakers, and with the American public.

Last year, we lost 20% of the federal science workforce- 25,000 people, with years of expertise that we can never recover. On top of that, we are training far fewer students to join the scientific workforce. As a result, we know less about threats to our lives and our livelihoods and we will for years to come.

The White House’s current proposals make it clear that all of that is only the beginning of their plans."Screenshot 2 of my speech, showing the following text:

"We scientists are desperate for those plans to be stopped. So we walked 250 miles from New York City to Washington, D.C. to remind our members of Congress that further breaking how science works in the United States is—for now—just a proposal.

Congress has the power to preserve the scientific systems that keep millions of people safe. Congress has the power to insist that their funds get distributed as they were intended to be. Congress has the power to change our course.

And we have the power to hold our members of Congress accountable and make sure they act.

Though our walk was motivated by desperation, it was carried out with joy. Because we know how to ensure that science serves Americans into the future: fund science and protect the integrity of the scientific process, as lawmakers from many backgrounds have been doing for decades.

That seems much easier than walking 250 miles."Screenshot 3 of my speech, showing the following text:

"We refused to stay still and watch the scientific superpowers of our country be stripped away when they are better than they’ve ever been and needed now more than ever. With more than 250 miles behind us, we and constituents from across the country ask our members of Congress: will you join us in taking extraordinary steps in support of American science and the American people?

[pause]

Now, after walking 250 miles from Central Park to Capitol Hill, I would like to invite Syl Foisy to walk just a few more yards. Syl, please come to the podium to officially conclude your walk for science.

[the enormous crowd goes wild]
[exit to live a life of riches and fame]"
