Soapbox Science London is running an online event this year! Log on to Soapbox Science’s YouTube to watch some of London’s leading scientists showcase their science to the general public. After viewing the videos, join us for a zoom session to ask your questions and meet the scientists. The event’s mission remains the same: to help eliminate gender inequality in science by raising the profile, and challenging the public’s view, of women and underrepresented genders in science.
Event details
Live stream question session:
