On Earth Day (22 April) a global March for Science was held in more than 600 cities. Thousands of people — from farmers to politicians, biologists, science communicators and celebrities — marched in solidarity with scientists across the world whose work may be sidelined by politics or out of the public eye.

“The rising global anti-science sentiment is very concerning. 'Science saves lives' and it is my duty to speak up.”

Tanuja Gengiah, South Africa

该画廊重点介绍了非洲游行(马拉维,尼日利亚和南非),亚洲(印度,菲律宾),拉丁美洲(哥斯达黎加,巴西,哥伦比亚)以及全球北部(英国和美国)的重大事件的场景。它的特色是一些有关的组织和表达自己个人理由的个人表现出对科学家的支持。

The groupMarch for Science, which was at the forefront of organising this event worldwide, aims to raise awareness on the overall lack of evidence-based research in policy, using science as a tool to guide long-term decision making.

"The best way to ensure science will influence policy is to encourage people to appreciate and engage with science,” they write on their website. “We encourage scientists to reach out to their communities, sharing their research and its impact on people's everyday lives."
