On Saturday, there were almost 600 sister events across the globe in support of the March for Science gathering in Washington, DC. One such event occurred in Bristol, UK, where Physics World magazine is produced, which featured a march and speeches from science communicators. I popped along to the event with my camera and here are some of the most eye-catching signs from the day.

My colleague Tushna Commissariat was also at the march and she spotted this selection of pun-tastic placards.

He believes that Saturday’s co-ordinated action should be the start of a wider movement for more scientifically informed policy-making. Hear what Packham had to say and watch footage of Saturday’s march in the video below.
