Research on science slams has highlighted their historical continuity with earlier forms of public science communication, arguing that despite their apparently innovative character, science slams draw on long-established strategies for legitimizing scientific knowledge to non-expert audiences. Studies have also noted persistent gender disparities in slam performances, with female scientists remaining underrepresented despite the format's informal character.
