Science is beautiful
and we can make it even better.

By adopting Open Science practices,

transparent and inclusive.

On this website, I share my thoughts and activities to promote the uptake of Open Science. I do this by giving workshops for researchers, developing course materials for Bachelor and Master programs and by leading the Open Science Community Utrecht. Educational materials and workshop slides on Open Science can be found here. Feel free to reuse (CC-BY).
