Soapbox Science Bradford 2024

About this in-person event

Have you ever had the chance to speak to a scientist? Do you want to learn more about how your brain controls weight gain? Do you ever wonder where fatigue comes from: the mind, the brain, or the body? Or you want to learn more about what natural plumbers (blood vessels) do for your body, how artificial intelligence works, new cancer and ageing treatments, and much more? Then come and join us in the City Park, on Saturday 8 June from 12PM-3PM for Bradford Soapbox Science. 

Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and the science they do. 

This event will transform City Park into an arena for public learning and scientific debate, following the format of London Hyde Park’s Speaker’s Corner, which is historically an arena for public debate. 

With Soapbox Science, we want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy, learn from, heckle, question, probe, interact with and be inspired by some of our leading scientists. No middleman, no PowerPoint slide, no amphitheatre – just remarkable women and non-binary scientists who are there to amaze you with their latest discoveries, and to answer the science questions you have been burning to ask. 

This event will include 12 established female scientists from the region who will stand on wooden boxes, discuss the science they do, and get you involved in interactive activities.

Everyone is welcome to attend, no need to book!
