Invitation to MCAA Science slam webinar on 24th September 2020

Dear members of the Swedish chapter, The MCAA Communication WG announces the first webinar of the Science communication and outreach series: “Scientists on stage: Science slam” taking place on 24th September 2020, 17:00 CET. Science slams are becoming a more and more popular format for science communication and outreach! In only 5-10 minutes, scientists have to explain their research to the general public using understandable, entertaining, and concise language. Bringing your science closer to the non-scientific audience increases the impact of your research! If you want to learn more about science slams, hear how and why you should do one, and get some tips from the science slam champions, register for our free webinar via this google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfZEA2lBIvTHLaSPQrRlFX91JpR1ArqYE4jKSu2DuUsfc4i2w/viewform. The follow-up webinar will be held in October 2020 as an interactive workshop on how to prepare a science slam talk on stage for a broad audience (more information will follow). The webinar is open to researchers of all nationalities and disciplines. The number of participants is limited and will be offered on a “first come-first serve” basis. WIth best wishes, Daniel Yar Hamidi Chir MCAA Swedish Chapter
