We are happy to inform you that Parthiban Saravanakumar, IRTG doctoral student, won the UMMD Science Slam on April 5, 2024 with his talk “Life Of a Lab Gerbil”!
“Initially, I felt quite apprehensive since it was my first public talk. Despite delivering my speech in English, I briefly commenced with an introduction in German, prompting applause from the audience. This moment bolstered my confidence, resulting in a rewarding experience overall. Ultimately, I was pleased to see that everyone grasped the substance of my presentation.”
Parthiban described his everyday job in a captivating way, sharing the life of the animal model he uses in his PhD project. The audience was enthusiastic and voted him as the best of the night!
We also extend our compliments to the other talented slammers: Dr. med. Lukas Bechmann, Nouria Jantz-Naeem, Prof. Dr. Janelle Pakan and Karl Rohmer!
