Science for Everyone: Soapbox Science Tübingen - 26 July 2025, 1PM @ Holzmarkt Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and the science they do.

What is Soapbox Science?
Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform that brings science out of lecture halls and into the streets. Inspired by London’s Hyde Park Speaker’s Corner, our event transforms public spaces into arenas for public learning and scientific debate. No Slides, no amphitheatre. Just brilliant scientists, their ideas, and curious minds eager to ask questions!
Expect short, engaging talks in both English and German, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and join the conversation.
