Scientific topics witty packaged: that is the goal of Science Slam, which serves to make important public health topics more accessible in an entertaining way and to empower young scientists. Students and alumni were also invited this year to present student final theses, doctoral projects or study projects. Among them was Alisa Wenzel, research associate from Psychology at IB Hochschule für Gesundheit und Soziales.
Since 2019, Science Slam has been a fixed part of the Poverty and Health Congress under the title "Science leaves the ivory tower". Originally developed from Poetry Slam, Science Slam is about presenting one's own research entertainingly. Science Slam stands between comedy and scientific lecture and thus offers entertainment for people with and without prior knowledge.
Up to five people compete against each other in an informal lecture competition. The goal is to vividly present one's own research topic in ten minutes, because the audience forms the jury and selects the winners of the Science Slam with appropriate applause. In preparation, in previous years a workshop on designing and implementing the contribution took place.
We are proud to have been part of this inspiring event and look forward already to the next Science Slam, which will certainly be just as fascinating and enriching. Upcoming dates: 30.04.2024 – Heimathafen Berlin Neukölln, 22.06.2024 – part of IB Hochschule's programme at the Long Night of Sciences (www.langenachtderwissenschaften.de).
