It was a great experience to participate in the first BNL Research SLAM competition, and it was an honor to win second place (my presentation begins at 28:40 in the
video). The SLAM competition is like an ’elevator talk’; participants gave three-minute talks on their research, prepared for a general audience. This event reinforced my commitment to improving the communication of scientific concepts to the public, a mission I will passionately pursue in the future.
