Speaking of Science Louisiana
The Speaking of Science (SoS) program by LA EPSCoR provides students in every type of school—urban and rural, poor and rich, public and private—exposure to the best researchers in Louisiana. The purpose is to increase public awareness of exciting research and development in Louisiana, spark the interest of students in STEM professions and showcase the excellence of Louisiana’s leading faculty and professionals. Speakers are available free of charge to speak to students, educators, and parents throughout Louisiana on a variety of topics. Additionally, museums, libraries, and civic organizations are eligible to request SoS speakers.

To be considered, requests must be submitted at least two weeks in advance of your proposed event date to allow for scheduling and processing. Fulfillment of your request is dependent upon funding and availability of speakers.

Speaking of Science is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under grant number OIA-1946231 and the Louisiana Board of Regents.
