What is a Science Slam?
A Science Slam is where young scientists present their research projects in a ten to eight-minute talk, making it easy to follow and mixing science with performance. It’s not primarily about the scientific outcome, it’s about storytelling, understanding and entertainment, all judged by the audience.
