Hi All,

I just wanted to remind folks of the watch party to watch Ejiro represent sPHENIX at the National Lab Research SLAM.  Additionally, the Shift Change Meeting will be at 3:15 pm today in order to give folks a chance to head to Berkner for the watch party.

Regards,

Rosi

Watch Party for National Lab Research SLAM on Wednesday, 3/5

Brookhaven Lab physicist Ejiro Umaka will be among 17 researchers competing at the National Lab Research SLAM on Wednesday, March 5.

All are invited to a watch party in Berkner Hall as Umaka and representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) national labs present three-minute talks on their research from the Congressional Auditorium in Washington, D.C.

Doors open for the watch party in Berkner Hall at 4 p.m. The SLAM competition will begin at 4:30.

Food and beverages will be served. Prizes will be awarded, too. Registration isn't required but if you plan to attend, please help the organizers by RSVPing [https://forms.office.com/g/8k3YvL0E7P].

Attendees can vote for their favorite presenter (ahem…Umaka, please!) at the end of the event.

Add to calendar: https://www.bnl.gov/event.php?q=21573 (VPN may be required. Adjust event reminder, based on your preference.)

Umaka is representing Brookhaven Lab after being chosen as top presenter at the local Research SLAM in December 2024 [https://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=222305].

During her short SLAM talk, Umaka will introduce the sPHENIX experiment, which captures data for nuclear physicists to better understand properties of an ultra-hot, ultra-dense "soup" of subatomic particles called quark-gluon-plasma. sPHENIX is located at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a DOE Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at Brookhaven Lab.
