What the Heck is a Science Slam?

Have you heard about Science Slams? I think they are the next big thing for getting the public excited about science. But what are they?

I just spent 12 days in Europe on a Science-Tour because I won the North-American EURAXESS Science Slam contest. I put this video together to give you a sense of what that trip was like (spoiler: it was a ton of fun), and to help explain exactly what this 'Science Slam' phenomenon is.

If you want to check out the rest of the channel or subscribe, you can go here:

A huge thanks again to EURAXESS for letting me go on the trip of a lifetime!

Hi Kurtis, amazing vídeo! Congrats!
I have 2 questions:
-from which uni is the brazilian girl from?
-is science slam the reason why you learnt German in the first place?

Glad to be a native German speaker but kind of odd to hear English speaking people who take dubble the time to say since things, ... Like I get awkward at smalltalk when speaking German - no that's just how we were brought up.
