Some of UCL’s leading scientists will take to their soapboxes on Saturday 5 October, to showcase their science to the general public as part of UCL’s It’s All Academic festival. Soapbox Science’s mission is to help eliminate gender inequality in science by raising the profile, and challenging the public’s view, of women in science.
