1st PIER Science Slam

NEWS | 4 May 2022 | Education / International / PEP / Doctoral Researcher / Postdoc

On 4 May 2022, the first PIER Science Slam took place at the DESY auditorium. Five "slammies" - all of them postdocs or doctoral researchers from DESY or UHH - gave highly entertaining presentations of their research.

Wow, thank you all for coming! It was a blast. We had so much fun at the 1st PIER Science Slam on May 4 in the DESY Auditorium.

Special thanks go to our five science slammers who blew away the audience with their amazing presentations:

  • Nidin Vadassery, PhD student at CFEL, DESY, IMPR-UFAST, experimental laser physics
  • Judita Beinortaite, PhD student at DESY, theoretical Physics
  • Maria Font, PhD student at CSSB, DESY, structural biology
  • Ben Otange, PhD student at CHyN, Universität Hamburg, physics
  • Benoît Richard, PhD student at CFEL, DESY, theoretical laser physics

 

The winner was determined by the audience and thier applause. It was such a close race, but Judita was found to have won this friendly battle of wits! Congrats to her but also to all other slammers who did a great job entertaining the audience!
