VIB proudly supports Soapbox Science Brussels, a public outreach platform dedicated to promoting women and non-binary scientists and their groundbreaking work. Soapbox Science events transform public spaces into arenas for learning, debate, and inspiration, drawing inspiration from London Hyde Park's Speaker's Corner, a historic hub for public discourse. Say goodbye to traditional presentations and hello to an intimate and engaging encounter where scientists directly share their latest discoveries. Don't miss the free upcoming Soapbox Science Brussels event on 29 June 2024, from 14h to 17h, at the Place de la Monnaie/Muntplein in Brussels. Be sure to visit Darina Abaffyová from the Aerts lab (VIB.AI and the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research), who will talk about her mission to uncover the mechanisms that control gene activity during brain development.
