The 3rd European Crystallographic Association Science slam, organized by European Young Crystallographers and under the sponsorship of Stoe, was a great success thanks to eleven contestants who gave us the opportunity to enjoy their exciting, unique, interesting (and even delicious) presentations. The difficult task of deciding on the three best, amongst all outstanding performances, was done by the audience, according to the volume of the applause.

 

We are happy to announce that titles of the best “Slammers” are awarded to Petra Stanić (1st place), Philipp Hans (2nd place), and Laura Calmanovici Pacoste (3rd place), who set the bar quite high for all the future contestants.

Petra Stanić /  Pancake bonding – intermolecular interaction or way of putting your pancakes together for the best sweet experience?

Philipp Hans / Why did those heavy fermions gain so much weight? - A detective short story

Laura Calmanovici Pacoste / Charge refinement using electron diffraction methods
