I visited the Raayland College Venray to give a lecture for high school students about our research (Venray, 2021, 2022 & 2024).
I visited the Stedelijk Gymnasium in Nijmegen to give a lecture for high school students about our research (Nijmegen, 2023).
I visited the Sint Ursula school in Horn to give a lecture for high school students about our research (Horn, 2023).
I participated in the Open House of the Faculty of Science for the general public. We performed demonstration experiments and gave lab tours (Radboud University, 2022).
I gave an invited lecture entitled Molecular collisions: from molecular billiards to chemical reactions as part of the ‘Molecular Sciences Colloquium’, open for all students of the programmes in Molecular Life Sciences, Chemistry and Science (Radboud University, 2021).
I gave lectures and participated in information sessions at the Open Days for the Bachelor study Science (Radboud University, 2021 & 2022).
I assisted during Wissen vom Fass (Pint of Science), where scientists go to local pubs and present their work (Hamburg, 2019).
I gave an invited talk entitled Towards imaging small (bio)molecules in action at an event from the German Society of Humboldtians for its members and scholarschip holders of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation (XFEL, Schenefeld, Germany, 2019).
During the so-called Lehrerfortbildung, I supervised a high school teacher who came to our department for one week to perform research (DESY, 2018).
I participated in a project called Wetenschap de klas in (Science in the class room), to translate our research on molecular collisions into a book chapter for primary school teachers. This was part of the Radboud Science Award for Prof. dr. Sebastiaan Y.T. van de Meerakker and we developed the chapter in close collaboration with the Science Education Hub Radboud University and some primary school teachers (Radboud University, 2016). See Chapter 3 about molecular collisions, 2016.
I gave an invited lecture entitled Collisions between cold molecules for the students from the student association Leonardo da Vinci from the study Science (Radboud University, 2016).
I was invited to give a presentation at the Radboud first-year students symposium for Molecular Sciences (Radboud University, 2015).
