After the presentations, a reception event took place. The library organizes Publications Slam events three times annually to give researchers at the MPIWG the opportunity to celebrate their new publications with colleagues, get to know each other, and learn how to pitch their research in three minutes. We really enjoyed celebrating our researchers’ achievements at our Publications Slam! Thank you to all who participated.
