What is this about?
May the fourth! Star Wars Day is the perfect occasion for the 1st PIER Science Slam!
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. Come and see for yourself!
Who will be on stage?
You will have the chance to enjoy slams from 5 PhD students from various research institutions on campus. They were coached by experienced Science Slammer and DESY Postdoc Philipp Gadow.
