About me
Ervaren tekstschrijver, wetenschapsjournalist en verhalenverteller
Education

University of Amsterdam
1986 - 1993Master's degree Biochemistry and Molecular BiologyActivities and Societies: SCW - Stichting Cursussen Wetenschapsjournalistiek - cursus gevolgd en afgerond ca 2001 - bestuurslid SCW tussen 2002 en ca 2008 - gastdocent (schrijven voor internet) tussen 2002 en ca 2008 De SCW-cursus zorgde destijds voor een vlotte start van mijn freelance journalistieke carrière. Ik kwam dankzij het netwerk van gastdocenten snel bij KIJK terecht en heb daar ruim tien jaar vaste bijdragen aan geleverd (vaste column en regelmatig hoofdartikelen). Ik heb ook veel voor andere Sanoma-titels geschreven (Zo Zit Dat). Later trad ik toe tot het bestuur van de stichting en werkte ik er als gastdocent.
