Science slams (?)

I stumbled upon this unique format a few years ago, and since then I have come to love it as a great tool for scientific dissemination. It is inspiring everytime, to get on-stage to a huge crowd that is eager to learn about how your research impacts their life. Over the last years, I have had the chance to slam across many beautiful locations in Germany, and in the process meet brilliant fellow researchers who are working on interesting topics. I can only recommend for you to go attend one in your city if you can!
