PhD Science Slam
From lab to stage
On this page you will find videos from our 'Science Slam', featuring PhD students from LSE
A Science Slam is about presenting research in novel and entertaining ways to a non-expert audience
The Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science tried an exciting new format to communicate some of the innovative research that is taking place at LSE to a wider audience: a Science Slam.
A Science Slam is an event where scientists present their research in a novel and entertaining way to a non-expert audience. Talks are normally around 10 minutes and the purpose is to make a potentially complex topic clear and exciting to lay people.
PhD students from the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Scienceand the Department of Health Policy took part in the Science Slam, which was initiated by Robin Bachmann and moderated by Dr Jens Madsen.
The event was funded by the School's Knowledge Exchange and Impact (KEI) programme.
