EURAXESSIndia | Science Slam 2016 | Entry Video | Damanbha Lyngdoh

Описание: The 4th #EURAXESS Science Slammer, Damanbha Lyngdoh, a #PhD candidate at St. Anthony's College, North Eastern Hill University-NEHU, Shillong, Meghalaya says " Explaining science and making sense out of it to a general audience is a challenging task. EURAXESS Science Slam 2016 provided that platform for students/ researchers/ teachers to effectively communicate (without scientific jargons) their complex and complicated scientific research to the general public. It was a great learning experience as it challenged me to think "outside the box" on how to share and disseminate the scientific knowledge to everyone.

On the whole, the event was a great success and I am sure that everybody must have benefited from it in some way or the other. Europe is an academic hub and has a lot to offer to young researchers like me. I am very sure that future winners will benefit from such outings"

The 4th live finals of the EURAXESS Science #Slam #India was organised in partnership with the BITS Pilani, Nuffic Neso India-Study in Holland and IndiaBioscience with the support of B.M.Birla Science Centre and Finnair at the B M Birla Science Centre in Hyderabad on 18 November 2016.
