Looks like we might be incredibly lucky with the weather today, considering the downpours we've had all week!

Very excited that Dr Gillian Knight @AstonUniversity will be taking to her soapbox as part of @SoapboxSciSheff this Saturday. She'll be explaining why men should be asking for the cervical cancer/HPV jab too. Here's hoping her very cute fluffy virus props don't steal the show!!

It's easy to underestimate how difficult public engagement is, especially with something like Soapbox Science, when the audience is constantly changing. It's a skill that needs practice! Well done to everyone that came today 💊🔬🔭👩‍🔬

Had a great speaker training session today - sharing advice, ideas and encouragement. Bring on the big day! #soapboxscience
