Would you like to develop you public engagement skills and be part of Soapbox Science Newcastle 2019?

 
Soapbox Science is an international public outreach event that aims to bring cutting edge research onto urban streets whilst also promoting the visibility of women in science. We place inspirational speakers on soapboxes and encourage them to engage and start conversations with the public about their work.
