Saturday 11 June 2022
: Piazza Terracina, Exeter Quayside
Dr Frances Hopkins from PML will be speaking at the Soapbox Science event in Exeter on the 11th June between 12-3pm at the Piazza Terracina, Exeter Quayside. The event showcases the research of women and non-binary scientists who are making significant contributions to the scientific community.
Dr Hopkins talk will be entitled: "The smell of the sea, plankton, and climate change" and will describe to the public the role of the sea and how it affects the Earth's climate regulation.
What is Soapbox Science?
Soapbox science is a novel outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and their work. It follows a similar platform of London Hyde Parks's Speaker's Corner. The platform allows direct communication to the general public to engage and increase understanding of science through talks and interactive experiments.
