***Bad, bad 1980s music playing in the background ***
Fame! I’m gonna live forever!
*** Bad, bad 1980s music fades ***
Ah, thank god, no more listening to the music of the worst decade of ‘em all. But now the darn song’s stuck in my head, thanks to the seriously nice people from FameLab who gave me a call earlier this week to ask if I’d compete in this Saturday’s Hamburg science-slam-style competition.
I’m a fool for show, I admit. So I said Hellya!, only to find myself with rules that say no more then three minutes of presentation time (uhm, yeah, right, can’t even intro my research in less then ten minutes, at best) and no visual aids whatsoever (visualization is part of my game, hello).
Gotta be creative, gotta get things down on paper, rehearse, rehearse, rehearse to stay within limits, I told myself. In fact, I’m still doing it, and hopefully it’ll work out when y’all come to cheer in the finale on Saturday at five at the main building’s west wing.
Fingers crossed!
*** Bad, bad 1980s music returns ***
Fame! I’m gonna live forever!
