Soapbox Science Toronto
We are delighted to apply our passion for science outreach to Soapbox Science. As a group, we share a fundamental belief that diversifying science contributes to better science, better decision-making and better opportunities for everyone. By giving our fabulous Soapbox Scientists a platform to share their knowledge with the public, we are building a more accessible and inclusive science community.
Soapbox Science Toronto was the first event in North America and we’re thrilled to see events spread across Canada. Each year we bring science out of the lab with the help of Word on the Street – a local literary festival held at the Harbourfront in downtown Toronto. Our events have featured some of the top scientists engaged in science outreach and diversity initiatives in Canada.
