Questlove said science is especially important in light of Trump Administration policies and practicies_ by [Jennifer Calfas](https://time.com/author/jennifer-calfas/) ## Jennifer Calfas Apr 22, 2017 5:55 PM UTC by [Jennifer Calfas](https://time.com/author/jennifer-calfas/) ## Jennifer Calfas Apr 22, 2017 5:55 PM UTC Musician and multi-instrumentalist [Questlove](http://www.thedrive.com/news/1948/questloves-story-about-pink-limos-finding-nemo-and-prince) said science should belong to the masses at the [March for Science](http://time.com/4749221/science-march-scientists-partisan/?xid=homepage) in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. Questlove, one of the event’s co-hosts, spoke about the importance of science and facts during the new presidential administration as [thousands of scientists gathered](http://time.com/4751491/march-for-science-protest-dc-watch-online/?xid=homepage) at hundreds of cities around the world on [Earth Day](http://motto.time.com/4750688/ann-druyan-march-for-science-earth-day/) in light of new policies affecting their work. “The rational scientific thought gets us out of the highest corners and to the most open, wide spaces,” he said. Referring to [President Donald Trump](http://time.com/4751484/donald-trump-dreamers-administration/) as “that guy over there,” Questlove said making science accessible to people is now more important than ever. “Many people seem to be forgetting those facts and it’s been frustrating to watch as certain forces in our society try to squelch science or their refusal to believe in it or propose alternative realities and facts. Alternative facts or whatever that (bleep) is. All that works against science and we need to work for science. More than that, we need to make sure science belongs to the people.” Science educator [Bill Nye](http://time.com/4655918/bill-nye-nyfw-runway-2017/) of _Bill Nye the Science Guy_ and [Mona Hanna-Attisha](http://time.com/4301736/time-100-women-2016/item/mona-hanna-attisha/), the pediatrician responsible for exposing [the water crisis in Flint, Mich.](http://time.com/4441471/flint-water-lead-poisoning-costs/), also spoke at the event in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. Scientists have made their voices heard in light of Trump Administration policies affecting their work, including proposed budget cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institutes of Health. Trump has not yet commented on the protests. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4751573/march-for-science-questlove/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4751573/march-for-science-questlove/"},"headline":"Questlove Speaks at March for Science: ‘We Need to Make Sure Science Belongs to the People’","datePublished":"2017-04-22T17:55:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:47.846Z","description":"Questlove said science is especially important in light of Trump Administration policies and practicies","url":"https://time.com/4751573/march-for-science-questlove/","keywords":["protests","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte6c269de8300bff1/6988c40cfb4eacb902891a73/questlove.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jennifer Calfas","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jennifer-calfas/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte6c269de8300bff1/6988c40cfb4eacb902891a73/questlove.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"NBC's \"74th Annual Golden Globe Awards\" - Red Carpet Arrivals","caption":"NBC's \"74th Annual Golden Globe Awards\" - Red Carpet Arrivals","creditText":"Christopher Polk/NBC, NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/protests/","name":"protests"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4751573/march-for-science-questlove/","name":"Questlove Speaks at March for Science: ‘We Need to Make Sure Science Belongs to the People’"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Questlove said science is especially important in light of Trump Administration policies and practicies","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4751573/march-for-science-questlove/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4751573/march-for-science-questlove/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
