Description
Set up in 2011 in the UK, Soapbox Science is reaching across the globe, highlighting women in science and the research they carry out in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Events turn busy city centres into places of discussion, debate and demonstrations. Soapbox Science brings the science directly to the public, breaking down barriers to enable researchers to discuss their research with anyone and bring everyone a step closer to the latest discoveries that are changing our understanding of the world.
