SOAPBOX SCIENCE Melbourne


Science in the Streets of Melbourne: Soapbox Science and STEM Sisters Bring Research to the Public
Soapbox Science is a global initiative that promotes and showcases the work of women scientists to break down the barriers that prevent women from entering and progressing in science careers. The format involves female scientists standing on a soapbox in a public area and giving short talks on their research to engage with the public in a fun and informative way. Soapbox Science events also provide an opportunity for female scientists to network and connect with others in their field, as well as gain experience in science communication.
STEM Sisters are the official partners in delivering the Soapbox Science Melbourne event since 2022 during the Australian National Science Week.
