Amidst the excitement, one event stands out for its humor, heart, and energy: the Battle of the Brains: The Ultimate Science Slam Edition. This much-loved tradition, hosted by Berlin’s seven Clusters of Excellence (SCIoI, MATH+, UniSysCat, SCRIPTS, Neurocure, Temporal Communities, Matters of Activity) transforms complex research into lively and entertaining performances. Researchers bring their work to life with everything from costumes and props to experimental setups, vying for the audience’s applause and the coveted title of best science slammer. For Science of Intelligence (SCIoI), our member Anna Lange and Vito Mengers will join the stage and present their research.
