A science slam is perhaps the most entertaining form of science communication. It is not a battle of wits but a friendly competition about who can win the audience over his or her area of research. In that aspect, it is much like a poetry slam spoken word event. It can be a funny talk, a story, some peculiar facts about science and research. PIER was holding their first Science Slam on May 4, 2022, in the DESY auditorium in Hamburg, Bahrenfeld.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PhD students from various research institutions of the Bahrenfeld research campus joined a workshop in which they were trained and coached for their stage performance. In this workshop we were lucky enough to work together with Philipp Gadow<\/a> as instructor. Philipp is an experienced science slammer and postdoctoral researcher at DESY. Michael B\u00fcker and Matthias Mader helped with coaching the slammers and hosting the show. And what a show this was! 🤩 Lots of thanks also go out to the amazing audience. Check out the videos of their slams below.<\/p>\n\n\n
