Stand Up for Science: demonstration at Princeton U. on March 7, 2025 remarks by Professor Sam Wang
Sam Wang first appeared on my personal "radar screen" when he submitted an amicus brief in 2015 regarding Wesley G Harris' lawsuit challenging the 2011 maps drawn by the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (finalized in 2012). Wang, a mathematician and neuroscientist demonstrated that contrary to Harris' claim, Arizona Republicans did NOT suffer illegal dilution of their votes as a result of that year's district maps.
Professor Wang is inherently very interested in elections and electoral matters. He founded and leads the Princeton Gerrymandering Project.
As a neuroscientist, Wang spoke yesterday at a Stand Up for Science in Trenton, NJ.
WE the PEOPLE MUST speak up and out assertively and with understanding the societal ramifications of the idiocracy we see in the moment. We MUST keep the Musk/Trump regime from cutting off funding for critical scientific research.
We've made a LOT of progress. But only when WE take action. Action in the COURTS. Action in the STREETS. And ACTIONS ONLINE!
That's AGENCY. The actions MUST be disciplined, they MUST be NONVIOLENT. And they MUST be taken without reference to when results will occur. Remember the adage, Let go and let GOD? Whether you believe in God or not, You and I MUST always take care to do what is right and leave the results up to powers higher than our own societal awareness.
