Battle of the Brains

Slammin’ like there’s no tomorrow – at our cluster science slam, researchers try everything to entertain their audience, regardless of whether the subject is e.g. mathematics, neuroscience, or active material. The sky is the limit when it comes to what’s possible. Costumes, props, movies, PowerPoint presentations, or other experimental setups are all allowed. Only time sets the limits – every slammer will have six minutes at most. And the audience will decide which presentation is best!
