Scientists convening marches in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Palmerston North say many of its themes resonate here. Four of New Zealand's best known scientists, all of whom are marching this Saturday, discuss some of themes and concern behind the movement. MD: Communication is so important, we need more scientists to communicate what they do and why it's important to the public.

Don't mistake me, many scientists (male and female) are wonderful, warm, good hearted people who want great things for others.
