At a Science Slam, scientists present their research in an accessible and entertaining way in front of a broad audience. Each presentation takes typically 10 minutes and afterwards, the audience can decide who convinced them most. It is a fun and engaging way of communicating your research to the public. The performance is often accompanied by slides but in general, all kinds of creative tools are allowed: videos, music, dance, pantomime, a live experiment on stage, or a combination of all!
