For the first time, it was not students but lecturers from the University of Potsdam who rocked the big stage of the Waschhaus Arena at the Science Slam on 15th November 2023.

Prof. Dr. Amitabh Banerji got to the heart of the current discourse on replacing fossil fuels, especially natural gas, with green alternatives with his presentation "Green hydrogen instead of Putin's natural gas". The chemistry didact demonstrated to the enthusiastic audience with experiments, lab coat and Albert Einstein wig, how vivid chemistry lessons can be.

Bryan Nowack, a biologist at the University of Potsdam and an experienced slammer himself, hosted the evening in his usual amusing, entertaining and refreshing manner.

We say "Keep it up and more of the same" and are already looking forward to the next slam in February 2024!

The Science Slam was jointly organised by Waschhaus Potsdam gGmbh, the Department of Press and Public Relations at the University of Potsdam and Potsdam Transfer - the Centre for Start-ups, Innovation, Knowledge and Technology Transfer at the University of Potsdam.
