COMMUNICATING SCIENCE
I am highly motivated to disseminate my work to the general public. I regularly participate in outreach event such as public lectures, give interviews in newspapers and on television, and I am the author of a popular science book ‘Het Riskante Brein’. I am the developer and organizer of a science theater show for children, the Hoe?Zo! Show. A selection of media appearances can be found on this page.
