Interviews
Your story in my words—but really, mostly in your own words. I think it’s important to do justice to your research and work. I’d rather not take shortcuts just to make the story more compelling. If you fully recognize yourself in my words, I’ll take that as a huge compliment.

Press Release
Because I have a background in journalism (and studied it), I understand what makes a story newsworthy. It’s hard for me to take off my “journalist’s glasses.” Thanks to a relevant press network, I’m often able to get the media excited about my work. This regularly leads to interviews with scientists in prominent media outlets.

A press release about accessible and affordable measures to reduce nitrogen emissions on dairy farms.

Research shows that the law intended to protect trade names is hopelessly outdated. I wrote an article that generated a lot of publicity.

Strategy & Consulting
There are plenty of great (research) stories out there. But how do you get them out there? I’m happy to help research institutions and faculties get started. For example, I can assist with setting up campaigns around a specific theme. My background in journalism comes in handy here, too, because I understand what the outside world is looking for.
Newsletters
A newsletter is an ideal way to keep your audience informed about new developments. Through engaging articles, I’ll keep your followers up to date on trends within your organization. I’m familiar with Mailchimp and Laposta and would be happy to brainstorm possibilities with you.

Video
Does a picture really say more than a thousand words? I’m not so sure about that. I do believe, however, that film gives a story more depth. A video sticks with you longer and allows for a more personal perspective. I regularly collaborate with a filmmaker I work with, and I’d be happy to explore whether film might be a good fit for you.

Testimonials & Project Stories
What do you do when you want to learn more about an organization or employer? You’ll likely want to read about the experiences of people just like yourself. Open and honest profiles give your organization a human face. Based on a brief preliminary discussion, we’ll work together to determine what you want to highlight and who can tell your story.

A sampling of my areas of expertise…

Nature and Water
Our country is in the global spotlight because of the way we manage water. In other words: “God created the world—except for the Netherlands.” Much of our natural environment is now also the result of human intervention. The creation of the Marker Wadden brings nature and water together in a unique way. I regularly interview researchers about this new natural environment.

Legal Research
Research on legislation regarding dry substances? Not if I have any say in the matter. Case law is actually incredibly interesting, and research offers very concrete starting points for legislative changes. Did you know, for example, that a martial artist who knocks his opponent out isn’t protected by the law at all?

Sustainability
Our planet is under a great deal of pressure due to human activity. We’ll have to rethink our lifestyles, and we also need more sustainable solutions. How about alternative bioplastics to combat the plastic soup , or asphalt made with wood-based binder?

Brain and Psyche
We may not be our brains, but we are beginning to understand more and more how our brains work in relation to our behavior. Among other things, I wrote about research on giving behavior among young people.
