Soapbox Science 2022

In September 2022, our Soapbox Science event returned to an in-person format after being held online for the past two years. This event coincided with FOS10, marking a decade of discovery at the Faculty of Science at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Our event was held at the stunning outdoor venue of Evergreen Brickworks (external link) , as part of Toronto's Word on the Street (external link)  festival.
