2024 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit

PowerPoint™ Karaoke

6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Sheraton, 2nd Floor, Constitution B

MRS TV talks to 2022 MRS Spring Meeting PowerPoint™ Karaoke event organizers Michael Wilhelm and Anja Sutorius about this fun, engaging meeting event.

PowerPoint™ Karaoke challenges both the author of the slide and the presenter to improve their communication skills. Join us for a fun evening! Featuring stand-up comedy by Giuseppe Romano, previous winner of the 2022 MRS Fall Meeting PowerPoint™ Karaoke event.

Submit or Present a Slide (or Both!)

Calling materials science all-stars! Are you interested in becoming a more active participant at the MRS Meeting? Looking for some fun in your scientific life? Do you know a rising star who would be perfect as a presenter? Submit a creative slide, or deliver an amazing presentation, and win recognition and cash prizes of up to $100.

• Create a PowerPoint side with a contribution to your research or a materials science-related topic.

• Don’t be too serious! Popular science topics aren’t the point; we’re looking for the funniest story or best design!

• Topics can range from your actual research to something silly, such as the use of rubber ducks. Be sure to keep it simple so that anyone can present, and keep it clean—inappropriate content will not be accepted.

Presenters will have a few minutes to prepare a two-minute (maximum) presentation.

Winners will be selected by anonymous audience voting. First ($100) and Runner-up ($50) prizes will be awarded to both authors and presenters.

Participate as an Audience Member

Cheer on our presenters and vote to select the winners. Use this event as a fun team-building activity for your department, or use this opportunity to have University Chapter members engage and network. We hope to see you in Boston!
