Experience science in a different way at the Science Slam! Students present exciting and funny insights into their day-to-day studies. From fascinating research results to bizarre anecdotes - knowledge is conveyed in an entertaining way here. Join us and be inspired by the creativity and humour of your fellow students!
In this talk, we’ll approach the topic of cooking from a very... questionable angle. Quick recipes will save us time, lead aprons look really stylish in the kitchen, and all of this without a microwave! (May contain traces of physics.)
"My talk is about the origin of the word 'meme' and what Metal Gear Rising, my computer science teacher, and 'some old white guy' have to do with it. Until recently, I wouldn’t have thought that Pepe the Frog and ancient Greece were more closely connected than one might expect. Who knows, maybe it’s just common knowledge that slipped past me during my regular schooling. I don’t care! I’m going to tell you anyway why I think the whole thing is way more earth-shattering than it probably is."
"My presentation is about quantum sensors and why they are important to our world. Description: Sensors are at the heart of modern technology. They enable the digitization of physical phenomena (such as electricity, pressure, magnetic fields…). The next big leap forward for humanity is the move into the quantum world! I’ll show you how a quantum sensor works and bring some cool examples to illustrate it."
“When scientific papers promise to publish their data, do they actually follow through? We spent three days at an Open Science Retreat trying to answer this question. Along the way, we stumbled upon a few interesting situations, such as a journal that lost a paper’s data twice. Research on research: a look behind the scenes of science with a dash of chaos.”
