Speakers:
-
Liesbeth Smit, MSc. Liesbeth makes science sexy and helps researchers create more impact with their work. She learned how to design and create websites during her research and PhD in nutrition science at Harvard School of Public Health and VU University. Since founding The Online Scientist in 2012, she has created over 150 websites and dozens of infographics, animated video about science. She has taught hundreds of researchers all over the world how to create better scientific presentations, posters and graphical abstracts. Her goal is to create impact with science communication that is visually appealing and user-friendly.

Stephan van Duin, MSc. Stephan started in science communication right after graduating as a biologist, and he now commits himself to improving the discipline of science communication or ‘scicomm’ even further. Not only by working for and with scientists, but also as co-chairman of the Dutch science communication association SciCom NL. His main goal is to connect the practice and science of scicomm, and to help researchers implement it though workshops. Stephan’s vision is that both science and society can benefit from clear science communication when it’s done the right way.
