Scientists, professors, researchers and concerned citizens gathered by the thousands on Saturday in honor of Earth Day and in solidarity with the nationwide March for Science protests.One pro-science celebrity, however, stood out from the crowds. Like magic, she made an appearance at several of the 600 marches that took place across the country. She probably traveled there on a big yellow bus.Have you met Ms. Frizzle'"We use our knowledge of science to preserve and protect our cultural heritage." - Tessa DePersio, an MS in art conservation pic.twitter.com/NuS5YJAgTf Chris D'Angelo (@c_m_dangelo) April 22, 2017 More than a dozen people rallied on Saturday as the quirky redheaded science teacher from the popular TV series, The Magic School Bus.Devoted protesters fashioned their best Ms. Frizzle costumes with galactic dresses, bright curly wigs and in some cases, with Lizzy the Lizard by their side. Other protesters paid homage to the elementary school teacher by depicting her as Lady Liberty.Ms. Frizzle made an appearance at the #marchforscience in #denver pic.twitter.com/qY7PS3tjVa Danika Worthington (@Dani_Worth) April 22, 2017 #marchforscience: Why yes that IS Ms. Frizzle from the #TheMagicSchoolBus series as Lady Liberty pic.twitter.com/Hb3vE5Gl4s Shefali S. Kulkarni (@shefalikulkarni) April 22, 2017 The March for Science protest was held nationwide to show President Donald Trump that science deserves a seat at the table in the White House.So far in 2017, the Trump administration has made moves that put science and research on the back burner ' especially when it comes to climate change.Not only did Trump once call climate change a hoax, he put Scott Pruitt, a man who doesnt believe humans are the primary cause of climate change, in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump has also slashed regulations that protect U.S. waterways from coal mining operations, rolled back standards on car pollution and even removed the word science from the EPAs office of Science and Technology mission statement.And thats not all the damage Trump has done in the name of environmental policy. (You can find all of thathere.)It makes one wish that the real Ms. Frizzle would stop by the White House on her Magic School Bus to spark some scientific sense into the Trump administration.Fortunately, the teachers substitutes were out in full force Saturday, even braving the rain in some cases to send the president a message. Like Ms. Frizzle would always say, Take chances. Make mistakes.
