I now have emotional comparisons for anger, anxiety, & enthusiasm between #StandUpForScience2025 & the #MarchforScience (2017), based on surveys of participants at Washington, DC events. Anger and anxiety have increased, while enthusiasm has declined. #StandUpForScience

Surveys by my research teams at yesterday's #StandUpForScience rally and the 2017 #MarchforScience (both in Washington, DC) show that rally participants in 2025 reported significantly higher anxiety about politics and significantly lower enthusiasm about politics than they did in 2017.
