Soapbox Science Brisbane 2025 is a free public engagement event which aims to inspire new generations of women scientists, challenge perceptions of what a scientist does and looks like and encourages the public and wider community to engage with novel science.

For this event, 12 competitively selected, diverse women will step onto soapboxes and bring their science to the streets of Brisbane. Our fabulous line-up includes scientists from all career stages, from Higher Research Degrees students, early and mid-career scientists, to Professors. The selected speakers are specialists in mathematics, molecular science, neuroscience, material science and nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, ecology, and genetics.
