It seemed like a crazy plan when we first heard about it from our friends in Pro-Test Italia at the end of April, to organize a day of events in cities across Italy to campaign for correct scientific information, and to do so in less than 6 weeks…and with a starting budget of precisely nothing.
On Saturday 8 June 2013 the seemingly impossible didn’t just happen, it was a triumph!
The topics discussed by over 50 scientific experts who spoke at these events reflected the wide variety of issues of concern to those who value science in Italy, including vaccination, GM crops, stem cell therapies, seismology, chemtrails, alternative medicine, and of course animal research. Discussions were often lively, with many audience members joining the speakers to challenge anti-scientific claims.
