Please note: This event will now be taking place in Parliament Street, not St Sampson's Square as stated in the Festival brochure.
Come and listen to top female and non-binary scientists as they take science to the streets of York - while standing on a soapbox.
Established in 2011, Soapbox Science promises a summer of fun and fantastic science with events across the world. Catch the York event and meet inspirational speakers from the University of York as they explain their research and promote the visibility of women and non-binary people in science.
