Science Slam: What’s a science slam, you say?
A Science Slam is an event with two basic ingredients: the scientists, who creatively explain their research projects, and the audience who watch them while drinking a beer or a cup of coffee.
Some scientists use humor, charm and even flirtation, while others do it with numbers, graphs, and curves. But all try to win the hearts of the audience, who give out points to their favorite scientists, after every presentation. At the end, the points are counted to find the winner who gets the night glory and title of coolest scientist in town! But of course, as mom always says, the point is not winning but participating and having a good time!”
