Female researchers from across Scotland will take to their soapboxes on the Mound in Edinburgh city centre to share their passion for science on Saturday. (July 22)
Soapbox Science gives members of the public the opportunity to find out more about world-leading research, to ask questions, heckle and be inspired by women in science.
Set up to bring science to public spaces, it was commended by the Prime Minister in 2015, and was awarded a Silver Medal from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) in June 2016.
The 12 speakers will be armed only with a soapbox and a white coat –no speaker, no blackboard, and no powerpoint!
Go along to The Mound from noon to 3pm to find out more.
The free event is sponsored by Edinburgh Napier University, the Scottish Universities’ Physics Alliance and a private sponsor.
There are four Edinburgh Napier researchers presenting: Dr Lourdes Alwis (Smart Cities – the future of the world), Dr Anna Campbell (Exercise and cancer – movement matters), Aisling Doyle(the electric car) and Dr Sharron Vass (the placenta and the tumour, understanding the differences and exploiting the similarities)
