Professor Haniffa, who leads the Skin and Oral disease research theme at NIHR 缅北禁地 Biomedical Research Centre, said: “We’re taking science to people who wouldn’t normally think about it. It’s a great opportunity to talk about the brilliant science being done on their doorstep.” Inspired by Hyde Park’s famous Speakers’ Corner, Soapbox Science transforms public areas into arenas for learning and debate, as some of the world’s brightest female scientists share their passion for an array of topics. Soapbox Science champions the vital role of women in science and provides an exciting opportunity to meet, talk to and be inspired by these remarkable women.
