The call for speakers to take part in Soapbox Science’s 2020 events is now open. 

Are you a woman who works in science and who is passionate about your research? Are you eager to talk to the general public about your work in a fun, informal setting?  If so, then Soapbox Science needs YOU! Soapbox Science are looking for scientists in all areas of STEMM, from PhD students to Professors, and from entry-level researchers to entrepreneurs, to take part in this grassroots science outreach project.

Soapbox Science is a public outreach platform for promoting women scientists and the science they do. Their events around the world transform public areas into an arena for public learning and scientific debate. With Soapbox Science, the organisers 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 scientists who are there to amaze with their latest discoveries, and to answer the science questions the public have been burning to ask. Deadline for call for speakers is 10am 2nd March 2020. Events will be held in Brisbane, Sydney and Armidale.
