Science Communication
As an early career researcher, I believe it is crucial to take an active role in science communications. It is essential to foster an environment in which science is communicated so that the public can understand and judge its importance or relevance. Science should be open and transparent to avoid losing touch with a society that is developing new ways of assessing and sharing (mis)information at record speed. Early career researchers are in a unique position at the forefront of discovery. With this comes the responsibility to inform the public and disseminate findings coherently. Not only should we explain what we do and why, but as scientists, we can profit from mutual learning with the public. Communication can help scientist recognize the importance of different perspectives and cultural relevance of science and increase the research impact by disseminating results.
Science writer
These are examples of previous articles I have written:
Evidence-based articles for parents and educators for BOLD ideas (Jacob's Foundation). You can find my profile here.
I am always open to new projects, please get in touch if you would like to collaborate.
Open Science
Open science has the goal to make scientific methods, data and outcomes openly available. Principals include, for example, science communication as well as transparency of methods and data collection.
During my PhD and beyond, I will follow open science principles, including pre-registration of experiments, submission of pre-prints and publication of code. I will provide R Markdown (Rmd) scripts. Rmd scripts show the link between data, code and results, which is an effective tool to share workflows.
Please find my current project codes under publications.
