Scientists
God of all creation, please bless the scientists who rallied today in Boston. Give them stamina not only to do the work of science, but to resist this administration's attacks on data, funding, and the very concept of facts.

Guard them, God, as they try to guard Your creation from willful stupidity. Give them insight, creativity, brillia
