SCIENCE SLAM
Join us & discover exciting research topics at the Waschhaus Arena
When? On 12th of November 2024 at 8 pm
Where? Schiffbauergasse 6, 14467 Potsdam
Do plants have a brain? And can stones breathe? If you want to hear the answers to these questions, you should come to the University of Potsdam's Science Slam on 12 November at 8 pm in the Waschhaus Arena. Young researchers will explain what they are currently working on with humour and knowledge. For example, they will explain what is meant by ‘Critical Westdeutschness’ and what role a ‘Jägerschnitzel’ plays in this. No less interesting will be the lecture on maenads, which will explain what one can imagine by female orgies in Ancient Greece. At the end, the audience will vote on which topic was best summarised in just ten minutes. The moderator will be Bryan Nowack, himself a successful slammer and biologist, who has researched how plants adapt to heat stress in his doctoral thesis, which is still hot off the press.
