MRSEC Slam Contest
On January 28th, 2022, at the request of our MRSEC program directors, each of the 19 MRSEC funded centers will present a five-minute slam via Zoom.
CCMR presenting student(s) will be selected via internal contest. The idea is to be creative, funny, using any art form (e.g. art, drama, graphics, music), while talking about your science to a non-expert audience. This can be an individual or group effort. An example of a slam which our NSF directors liked can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSQusza4VqA
