Only a week to go until our big rally on 26 October. Supporters of science
will come together to celebrate science and raise their voices in defence
of research funding – which the UK government is considering cutting by up
to 40%. To ensure supporters in Scotland have a say, we're organising a
get-together at

The Admiral Bar, 72 Waterloo Street Glasgow, G2 7DA (click to save a seat)
<http://r.a.d.sendibm1.com/c31win1ewd3d.html>

from 5.30pm where we'll be livestreaming Science is Vital's London event,
and making our own contribution to the campaign. Bring your lab coat, or
science prop, or wear science fancy dress – or just come as you are.

Together, we can change the course of events. So get involved, tell your
friends and colleagues and let's make a stand for science!
