Summary:
I hope you're well. My piece on monuments to white supremacy and the politics of biology appeared in today's The Guardian newspaper (in UK edition):
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/sep/19/white-supremacist-statues-must-fall-scientists
It discusses the politics of the march for science in the U.S. and how the march was affected by Trump's election. Thought it would be of interest to our community since many of us were involved in organizing around science, and given the general discussions about confederate monuments and what should be done about them.
