Interested in science communication?
Dear all,
In 2011, Prof Seirian Sumner and I, both FWIS alumnae, co-founded Soapbox Science,  a public outreach festival for promoting women scientists and the science they do. It is a fresh, no-frills grass-roots approach to bringing science to all people on the streets, especially those who wouldn’t otherwise have come across science in their daily lives. Our Soapbox Scientists are real-life scientists, who are at the cutting-edge of scientific research. You can read more about it here: http://soapboxscience.org/
Over the past 10 years Soapbox Science has been established in 56 cities across the world and it is always looking to expand. It has  so far involved over 1600 scientists and reached over 200,000 members of the public.  We are interested in hearing from academics who would like to establish an event in their local area; we are also currently recruiting our speakers for our 2022 edition.
If this is something you'd be interested in, either as a speaker or as a local organiser, please do get in touch :)
Cheers
Nathalie

Dear Nathalie,
I really appreciate your courage transforming scientific results into establishment which is widely accepted across the street.
I will like to learn how you have been able to establish this initiative amidst people who are not scientists.
Thank you.
