Imperial speakers and other prominent female scientists in the UK take science to the streets, with the help of the Zoological Society of London and the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science programme.
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.
