Science Slam is my favourite of all NWDUG events we organize. And Wilhelmshaven agrees. For the 4th year in a row the event, kindly supported by @sfb1372.bsky.social, was sold out. Slamming it for the @ifv-whv.bsky.social were @sonamkulkarni.bsky.social & Phillipp. They were amazing!

Coming up on the 25th: the NWDUG’s #scienceslam that will take place in #Wilhelmshaven. Kindly supported by Navisense and @sfb1372.bsky.social, there will be 6 youngsters presenting their science in the coolest of ways. Among them will be Phillipp & Sonam, two PhD students from @ifv-whv.bsky.social:
