Science slam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A science slam is a scientific talk where scientists present their own scientific research work in a given time frame - usually 10 minutes - in front of a non-expert audience. The focus lies on teaching current science to a diverse audience in an entertaining way. The presentation is judged by the audience.[1] A science slam is a form of science communication.
