The first round of the 2017-18 Mason Science Slam for science researchers and science communicators is here!! Mason Science Slam is a science communication competition for young researchers at Mason. It will challenge young scientists to prepare a presentation under 10 minutes about their scientific research using any entertaining format they wish. The presenter’s objective is to illustrate their research to a non-expert audience in an open, entertaining and educational format.
Presenters will compete for the $250 1st place and $100 2nd place prizes during each Prelim Slam, as well as the opportunity to compete for our Grand Slam event for the $1000 grand prize! Making their research understandable to a lay audience is their mission; yours is to help decide if it worked!
