Recruiting for this year’s Soapbox Science is now well underway and you have until the 1st March to put in your application – what better way to take plant pathology to the masses than by standing on your soapbox and sharing your love of this fascinating microscopical world with anyone who stops to listen – a chance to inform, inspire or entertain the general public, boost your science communication experience and raise the profile of women in science.
There are more events than ever in 2019 – with 20 in the UK alone – and a simple online application procedure. Locations and dates are listed below but check out www.soapboxscience.org for the up-to-date list and to apply direct. You can apply to speak anywhere in the UK: your home town or where you are based now being the most obvious. It is a competitive process and local organisers will be in touch beyond the closing date with details of how the event will run in their town/city. GOOD LUCK!
