In 2017 we introduced Soapbox Science to North America and we couldn’t be more excited for this year’s Toronto event!

Our guest speaker for this meeting will be Alanna Mitchell. Alanna is the author of The Spinning Magnet, her most recent book, all about the Earth’s magnetic field. Part history, part science, it explores all we know about one of the most important and least understood parts of our planet. From our discoveries about the connection between magnetism and electricity to the possibility that we are about to undergo a pole reversal, Alanna brings a spirited talk about this fascinating subject off the page onto our stage.
