What is a Science Slam?
A Science Slam is an innovative method of science communication that combines scientific expertise and entertainment in the form of a competition. Researchers go on stage for 8 to10 minutes to present their own research work to a broad audience. A Science Slam is all about having the creative freedom to convey your enthusiasm about a topic in any way that you deem suitable. You could sing a song, dance, bring equipment into stage or do a live demonstration. Slammers are encouraged to use creative freedom to think about how to simplify a topic without losing the core message. At the end, the audience is the judge and decides who wins the competition and becomes the slam master.
