If you\u2019re planning on visiting the ByWard Market on September 24, 2022, you may find yourself immersed in a world of science, as 10 female researchers take science to the streets of Ottawa. The third Soapbox Science event held in Ottawa will showcase the incredible work done by local scientists in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM). The event will take place from 1p.m.-4p.m. at <\/strong><\/span>55 ByWard Market Square <\/span><\/strong>on Saturday, September 24 and is free and open to the <\/strong>public. <\/strong>Soapbox Science provides an opportunity for adults, teens and children alike, to meet prominent female leaders in STEMM and become inspired by their success. This event is part of an international initiative by Soapbox Science, which aims to bring science to the people and challenge gender stereotypes in science careers. The event will transform the ByWard Market into an arena for learning and scientific debate. Not only does this introduce the public to the fascinating research being conducted by these female leaders, but it shows young people what they are capable of accomplishing in science and as a result, it opens a door full of exciting career paths.
