Hi!
This is Ellybot the Science Nut and welcome to the Slice of Pi.
So today is the first episode and I'm kind of (umm) well, I'm very apologetic about the
quality of this video.
This is kind of just on my web cam.
And I felt like it was an important topic to talk about and I'm going to talk really
briefly about it in my first science hours video, which is which I'm still working on.
But, I'd just kind of felt like it was really important to sort of talk about it right now.
And I'm going to revisit the subject when we get closer to the march.
So, basically on April 22nd on 2017.
There is going to be (umm) a lot of marches across the United States.
It's going to be the march for science.
And for me, my motto is, "I'm going to be marching for science.
I'm going to be marching for myself.
And I'm also going to be marching for my nephews."
And for all the other people in the future.
You know and I just think it's really important that we all get involved for it so, I'm also
going to put a link down below to help you get to that point (umm) Also as I might actually
do a freeze frame and then just kind of spell out the website (umm) for anyone who just
needs audio description for it.
So which is going to happen now.
The website is https://www.marchforscience.com.
If you are listening to the audio the auditory description then go ahead and just click on
(umm) just click on the screen.
I will have an annotation on her so you can go ahead and go straight to the website.
And I will also have an annotation at the end of this video for the facebook group.
And for anyone who cannot make it to the march then you can actually go ahead and volunteer
virutally.
And the website will help you with that.
So yeah, (umm) I just think it's really important.
And just to give some informationto some people who just have no way of getting to these marches
(umm) check in with your local colleges and universities.
I think they have a lot of them have rides and available rides and (umm) car pool system
that can help you get to these places for the marches.
And also, (umm) definitely check out (umm) if they'll nearby cities has anything so (umm)
definitely do that.
The one that I'm going to is going to be the one that is ...I just feel like it's the most
appropriate for me to be at and that will be the one on in DC.
And I'm going to go ahead and do that.
I'm a little nervous about it because I'm not very good with crowds or people (umm)
but I am going with a friend and also know that there is going to be (umm) sort of like
a science fair that is happening.
If I can get more information about that then I will talk about it in the future slice of
pi videos.
So hopefully I can do something about that.
And (umm) yeah so...and I'm sorry if I'm not very expressive in this video.
I just feel like it's it's just a very concerning and very important.
And I guess I just want to touch on why I feel like is important to do that.
Because I just always feel like STEM or STEAM is just the way to go.
Especially for the United States.
We just develop our economy on just being able to develope technology and science and
to be advancing in the world.
And not just, NOT just the U.S. but it's important for the U.S. right now because you know we
are at this point where there is a policy presented to just wipe out science and just
I don't know.
Just have fallacy everywhere and I just I just can't deal with that.
(umm) And I I'm just really surprised at the amount becau... (umm) I don't want to say ignorance.
I guess I'm just surprised at the amount of fallacy that I dealt with.
I did a volunteer (umm) writing job for a while.
Very short while.
I had some dedication issues at the time.
I had school and everything but, the amount of the comments that I got and also (umm)
the responses that I got.
It was just surprising and it opened my eyes.
I was just very surprised at the comments I've got and I...I didn't realize how prevelant
that was in the United States.
I didn't realize how big it was getting and it was just gotten to the point where I just
very disappointed and very scared about that.
So, I don't know.
Sorry if I'm kind of shaky.
I just had caffeine and I'm just very exhausted so, (whooooo) So anyways, I hope I'm not getting
you too down.
(umm) So yeah, March for Science is very important or at least in my opinion it's very important.
I really hope that you will consider how this will affect the local school system and how
this will affect how people will approach science in the future.
I mean if you ...it's almost like giving the okay for certain corporations to just fudge
numbers ... Do you know and Do you know how bad that is?
It's just not only do lawsuits prove it but the number of deaths that is just behind that
and the number of just tricking people and taking people's money and it's just it's just
a really bad thing and I'd just ...I don't know.
So again I'm very tired.
I'm very sorry about that.
And apologies for the quality of the video.
I'm going to try to see if I can make it as HD as I can when I upload it.
Hopefully that'll work out.
But yeah....so Yeah.
March for Science.
April 22nd and I will be in DC.
Also if anyone (umm) will like to be in one of my segments called, "Drinks with Scientists"
Please let me know.
I don't really know anyone at the moment that I can talk to.
Actually I have a couple of people but, people are very busy (umm) especially people who
are in the university system because they are about to you know give out finals for
their students and stuff.
So, I want to give them some time to be able to figure that out.
So if anyone has that will like to do a segment with me or even a quick segment while I am in DC
that'll be really great.
And then (umm) and just you know just comment below and I'll keep in touch and then send
me any of the papers that you had worked on or on anything you done recently so so yeah, anyways thank
you again for listening to me ramble.
(umm) Again Slice of PI.
Just random subjects that doesn't fit in any of my segments.
I am going to touch briefly as a reminder on my next science hours (umm) Science hours
is a lot more time consuming then I had expected (umm) there's just a lot of research and I
just want to make sure that I get everything right and correct and to make them you know
my information a lot more I mean is a mix of science news and education and just I just
want to bring that marriage very well so I'm just trying to take my time to make sure that I
get that right.
Yeah, so again thank you! (umm) And if anyone have any questions go ahead and ask and again
I will put the link down and hopefully I can put as much information as I can.
There's also a facebook group which I will go ahead and link that also.
And let me see what else I can think of.
Oh and Bill Nye is also promoting it so I will also link him to his promotional videos.
So maybe that will give you more information better than listening to me ramble for a while.
So anyways thank you again for stopping by and until next time!
Bye!
