Soapbox Science Windsor
Dr. Ferraiuolo took part in the first North American Soapbox Science in Toronto in 2017. This made her want to bring it to Windsor, Ontario to showcase the fabulous women in the area and the research that they do. With the research taking place at the hospitals and the University, we wanted to be able to show the public what is happening in the area. The public doesn’t often get a look into what research is happening and who performs that research. Many of our volunteers also came from labs so it was a great way to show that younger generations are involved in research, too.
