What is a Science Slam?

A Science Slam is a competition of the best science communicators in which motivated young researchers give a concise and comprehensible ~8 min presentation of a research topic. Anything goes! The slammers can use presentations, stage props or ask the audience to do a short experiment. To win the audience’s vote, the slam must be understood by a layman, fascinating, and of course entertaining.
