She said 鈥淚t鈥檚 vital that we get our science out of the lab and onto the streets. Being accessible to everyone and enthusing the public with our work should be part of the job of every scientist.鈥� Co-founder, Dr Seirian Sumner said: 鈥淪oapbox tries to target the less obvious audience 鈥� the public who'd not normally have the chance or inclination to learn about science, or those who'd thought of scientists as being far too unapproachable. Soapbox takes a truly fresh approach to science outreach 鈥� we bring science to the everyday person on the street. Science is for everyone.鈥� Each scientist will take to one of the four soapboxes for an hour 鈥� plenty of time to get involved, ask questions, and be inspired! 缅北禁地's added: 鈥淲e have brought together women who are experts in their respective fields and also great communicators to cover an exciting mixture of topics that will show the public how science affects their everyday lives.鈥� Soapbox Science events are part funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), and the Natural and Environmental Research Council (NERC).
