Theresa Schredelseker then teamed up with Philipp Gadow, postdoctoral researcher at DESY and experienced science slammer. In the workshop they offered, five PhD students from various research institutions at the Hamburg Bahrenfeld campus were assisted to develop their own Science Slam. They received one-on-one coachings with experienced science slammers (Philipp Gadow, Michael B\u00fcker or Matthias Mader) and a full-day workshop in which Philipp prepared them for their stage appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/science-chatter.blogs.uni-hamburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1st-PIER-ScienceSlam-1024x572.png\" alt=\"Logo of the First PIER Science Slam showing the PIER logo, a microphone and many raised arms\" class=\"wp-image-1513\" width=\"244\" height=\"136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/science-chatter.blogs.uni-hamburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1st-PIER-ScienceSlam-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/science-chatter.blogs.uni-hamburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1st-PIER-ScienceSlam-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/science-chatter.blogs.uni-hamburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1st-PIER-ScienceSlam-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/science-chatter.blogs.uni-hamburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1st-PIER-ScienceSlam.png 1245w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On May 4, 2022 it was finally time to perform their slam in front of an amazing audience in the DESY auditorium. The show was hosted by Matthias Mader, who also performed a Science Slam as the opening act to break the ice and warm up the audience for our five contesters. The winner was determined by the audience and their applause, judged by three jurors, Michael B\u00fcker, Matthew Robinson and Theresa Schredelseker. It was such a close race, but Judita was found to have won this friendly battle of wits! Congrats to her but also to all other slammers who did a great job entertaining the audience! It was such a fun night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many thanks also go to Matthias Kreuzeder and the DESY Meeting Service. They were tremendously helpful when it came to organizing this event and preparing the videos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes new methods are made available not thanks to a theoretical breakthrough but thanks to the progressive development of a known apparatus.
