Besides publishing in scientific, peer-reviewed, journals (see 'My work'), I frequently present my work at scientific conferences and regularly organize and give talks at public events. Below, you will find some examples of my outreach activities.
In 2018, I was nominated as one of the 25 candidates for New Scientist Wetenschapstalent 2018 (in Dutch).
From September 2017 to March 2018, I was one of the speakers in "Op zoek naar geluk" (in Dutch): Samen met Jan Kuipers, Coen Verbraak, en Patrick van Hees ben ik in het theaterseizoen 2017/2018 in verschillende theaters in Nederland te zien met 'Op zoek naar Geluk'.
On 24 November 2017, together with Prof. dr. Lorenza Colzato, on behalf of the Leiden Institute for Brain and Cognition (LIBC), I organised the annual Publiekssymposium (in Dutch). This year, the title was "Eet (je) slim".
On 14 February 2017, I was announced one of the winners of the Leiden pre-heats of Famelab 2017. Hence, in 2017 I contested in FameLab!
FameLab is organised by the British Council, aimed to share scientific knowledge.
The FameLab National Final will took place on May 3rd 2017 in Tivoli Vredenburg, Utrecht. Pictures can be found here
