Soapbox Science
Soapbox Science is a public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and the science they do. Their events transform public areas into an arena for public learning and scientific debate, following the format of London Hyde Park’s Speaker’s Corner, which is historically an arena for public debate. Soapbox Science makes sure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy, learn from, heckle, question, probe, interact with and be inspired by some of our leading scientists. No middle man, no PowerPoint slide, no amphitheatre - just remarkable women and non-binary scientists who are there to amaze you with their latest discoveries, and to answer the science questions you have been burning to ask.
