How can we get a crowd of people interested in marching for science? A long-since scientifically proven way of solving problems is, of course, to create a formula. Science March Vienna’s chosen method is called “Formula 2+1”, and it was invented by Helga Nowotny who was the first to sign up as a supporter of the march:
Every scientist attending the March should invite two people who are not involved in academia to join them. “With this we symbolize how strong science is rooted in everyday life”, says Nowotny.
Dear scientist, make up your mind who will you bring along on Saturday to join you!
