Students and community members marched on the Army's Institute for Collaborative Biotechnology's conference at UCSB, shutting down the assembly for the day. The conference was canceled and Army scientists left UCSB frustrated.

These are some pics taken by several people through the day.

Before the march on ICB, speakers rallied against the war in Iraq, and the ongoing "war on terror."
