Soapbox Science & Leadership in Academia
Manage episode 324836059 series 3336286
Berlin is a hub of knowledge & culture that has hosted very successful Soapbox Science events every year since 2017, with an increasing interest both from the “Berliners” and the different institutions. The diversity of the city is reflected in the different research institutes focusing on a wide range of fields. We want to bring science closer to society & promote gender-equality in academia by providing women scientists with a platform for promoting their own work and discipline.
Soapbox Science Berlin is integrated by an amazing group of female scientists from all over the world, working in different fields and with a myriad of interests, reflecting the same diversity that Berlin has. All this has translated into a perfect working Team.
During this episode, I chat with Dr. Carolina Doran & Marta Alirangues Núñez about how to join a pod in your city, why the representation of women in science is still so important, and why we put so much energy into being trailblazers and advocates for others.
Side Note: Every now and you will hear us drink put some cups down or shifting coffee cups. I hope you don't mind.
What is Soapbox Science?
Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and the science they do. Our events transform public areas into an arena for public learning and scientific debate; they follow 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 middle man, 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. Look out for bat simulators, interactive experiments or giant pictures of volcanoes. Or simply hear them talk about what fascinates them, and why they think they have the most fantastic job in the world!
