Soapbox Science – Newcastle Event August 2021!
We are so excited to announce that the call for speakers for the Newcastle Soapbox Science event is now open!
Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women scientists and the science they do. Soapbox Science events transform public areas into an arena for public learning and scientific debate. With Soapbox Science, we want to make 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 in science who are there to amaze the public with their latest discoveries.
