Soapbox Science
On Friday 22nd July 12:30 – 3:30pm, spectators can see some of the UK’s best scientific brains take science to the streets at South Bank. Soapbox Science is a one day event organised by the Zoological Society of London.
ZSL and L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science programme have joined forces with the help of some of the UK’s most prominent female scientists, to bring science to the people.
Bringing science to you
From explaining the merits of experiments in space, to how plants make decisions, the Soapbox Science event aims to showcase UK women in science and inspire the next generation of scientists by making science fun and accessible.
The talks
From volcanoes to car paint, here are just a few of the subjects our scientists will be bringing to the streets:
Can Twitter help us improve software?
Sex and mathematics: unlikely bedfellows in HIV research?
Volcanoes: Natural hazards or the pulse of a habitable planet?
Thinking like a vegetable- how plants decide what to do
From car paint to supercomputers: the story of multitasking molecules
All Soapbox Science speakers will be happy to answer your burning science questions on the day.
