science Speakers

Scientists do much more than crunch numbers and conduct experiments. They’re naturally curious about the world. They never stop asking questions in the pursuit of truth. Encourage your attendees to ask big questions, whether they’re listening to a technical presentation about medicine or a panel about scientific ethics. WSB’s roster of science speakers include medical doctors, cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, and other qualified science speakers. Available for in-person or virtual events and meetings.
