(update) A demonstration for the science

Hello,

I would like to invite you to see my last update.

It's a demonstration of scientists, in the streets
of Paris.

Daniel, in English it is a "protest". Scientists making a demonstration
would mean showing an experiment, or some such.

Cheers,
Alan

I don't dispute it, but in context it is misleading.

I think in this context "demonstration" is the more accurate term.

A "protest" requires that you oppose a person, thing or cause, whereas a
"demonstration" may be in support or opposition.

This is in fact a demonstration *for* science. And for research.

It is not a demonstration *of* science.

See 2nd image "Contre la précarité"

It is a _protest_ against government efforts against research.

Besides, it is in Paris. All "demonstrations" are protests.

Cheers,

Not at all: It is the word which I would have used (which is why I
looked it up in the first place, just to be sure).

Since the OP is probably not an English native speaker, I find it a bit
nasty to correct him when he is right all along...

Who cares what nonsense those sheep burning soap dodgers get up to.
Especially if they don't even have the decency to put up those banners in
english so those of us in the civilised world can read it

light blue touch paper and stand well back ;P
