Explaining our research in the streets of Brussels

If you passed by the Beursplein in the city center of Brussels on 26 June 2021, you should have noticed a group of very enthousiastic women scientists explaining their research on a soapbox. Together with 10 fantastic female scientists, I was privileged take part in the Soapbox science event organised by the local Brussels team working at the Space Pole Site in Uccle.

The main aim of the Soapbox Science initiative is to bring science to the streets and thereby highlighting the women and non-binary scientists. Started in the UK a decade ago, there have been public events all over the world!
