My family at the Boston March for Science |
The March for Science happened just over two months ago. The journey of designing the GENEie collection of DNA beanies, headbands and pussyhats was a whirlwind. Not only are these some of my favorite designs ever, but you responded so positively to them, too. The Boston March for Science was the first time that I saw someone wearing one of my designs... and I saw at least 10!

The first time I ever found my designs on the street! GENEies at the March for Science Boston. |
I didn't take pictures with everyone I found wearing a GENEie (one of the kid speakers was wearing a plasmid headband!) When I asked you, my amazing followers, to submit pictures of your GENEies that marched around the world, you delivered. In Ravelry you can find pictures of many finished GENEies, but you don't always get to see them in action at the marches. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to submit pictures and give me permission to use them here on ChemKnits.

Reneta P marched in Boston, too. I didn't speak to her at the rally, but her sign caught my eye and when I realized she was also wearing a GENEie I was thrilled. Reneta marched "because science is the way to understand the world and make it a better place."

Jessica McGrath marched in Boston because "I'm a scientist and because science makes everyone's life better." Puppies marched for science in GENEies, too! I love the DNA helix of the GENEie Pussyhat in a contrasting color, it really pops.

Laura Patterson took a fantastic selfie at the Washington Monument. "I'm from Sacramento, but I marched in D.C. representing California State Scientists. Critical thinking using empirical evidence is so important to tackling every issue we face, and I find the increasing disregard for science and facts as the bases for making decisions dismaying." I would have loved to travel to DC for the March for Science, but I am impressed by how many satellite marches there were.

Heather Kvale also marched for science in Washington, D.C. "me (headband), my husband (didn't have time to make him a hat), and our friend Katie (hat). :) Thank you so much for the patterns!" It was my pleasure, Heather!

"My name is Bridget Shobe and I marched in Washington DC. I knit several of the DNA hats for myself and friends! I am an environment science student at UMBC." I love her slouchy version of the original cable GENEie hat! I also love the picture of Bridget and her friends wearing brain hats. There were so many interesting pro-science outfits at all of the marches. It was wonderful to see what people created!

Feldman added with her next photo submission, "I marched because my child - the one whose hand I am holding in this picture - almost died in October 2014 because of a mesenteric defect we didn't know she had. She is alive and well today because of science. Because of research and medicine. The first thing I said to my husband the morning after the election was 'How much federal funding do you think CHOP gets?' I am terrified for us and for all our children that there are answers out there, cures and treatments and prevention, that we desperately need funding & research to discover, and that this administration will set us back decades and we will lose lives and suffer quality of life."

Lisa Hansen marched in San Francisco. "We marched because we believe science is the best way to find solutions for problems, and that it has to be ALL science. You can't just pick the parts you like. Yes, science has got it wrong, but we always strive to be right. We study, we think, we challenge."

Rachie MGruis marched in Salt Lake City. I love her crochet applique GENEIE (aka spliced.) I still wish that I had been able to design a full crochet version of the DNA cable, but I'm glad that some crocheters liked the spliced work around.

Some people marched with crowds of thousands of people. Rachel Smith Gebauer marched in Klamath Falls, Oregon with "100+ marchers in a rural Red town." Rachel said, "I wore it proudly at our local March. I wore my Science Not Silence button on the opposite side."

Submitted by Nancy Adams, Portland, OR. |
There were so many different science hats representing many fields across the country. Nancy Adams submitted a photograph of her daughter and her friends at the Portland, Oregon march. "In addition to the GENEie hat are the Science March Forest Beanie and Swimming Bacteria hats."
Erin Huggins (@erin.hugs) marched in Columbia, South Carolina.
Patricia (@madlycreativeme) marched in Seattle, WA. Her science pins were really epic and really elevated the knit GENEie hat.
Thank you so much for sharing these pictures with me, and giving me permission to share them! Writing up this post I am feeling all of the feels.
