Soapbox Science

London's Southbank is taken over for the sixth time in 2016 by some of the UK's leading female scientists for an afternoon of talks. Each speaker gets a chance to draw in a crowd, explain the ins and outs of their research and take questions from the audience. The selected experts come from a range of academic areas, and their talks ditch dull PowerPoint presentations and lecture-style presentations in favour of inspirational events designed to inspire young science fans.
