Since 2015, I spend short of two hours each day commuting to work and back. Listening to podcasts and audiobook have since become part of my daily routine and my main source for learning about topics outside my field of research. I find podcasts large bandwidth means of scholarly communication. Since 2017, I have started producing some podcasts of my own. I am for always indebted to Lex Bohlmeijer for his outstanding Goede Gespreken(nl) and kindly giving me some crucial advice and encouragement for the start.

Podcasts I have produced

The SjoengeJonge

This is a podcast series that I have produced and hosted together with Marie-José van Tol for de Jonge Akademie and will be released in the autumn of 2022.

The HardwareX podcast

In the first half of 2022, I hosted 5 episodes for the HardwareX podcast. I interviewed authors of HardwareX open hardware articles from the past three years to cover the story of their projects as well as the continuation and impact they had after the publication of their article.

The Road to Open Science, season 2

In 2021, Sicco de Knecht and I jointly hosted the second season of the Road to Open Science, which is supported by the Utrecht Open Science Platform and listed on the UYA soundcloud channel .

The Universtiy Cooperative Workshop

I was one of the organizers of the first University Cooperative workshop on May 14th 2019, at Utrecht University. In this workshop participants were introduced to the issues, the concepts, and successful examples of governing common resources. They also investigated two cases related to the university and knowledge dissemination. This podcast reports on this workshop.

The Road to Open Science, season 1

When the open-science taskforce was formed at the Utrecht University to come up with a plan to promote open science practices, I was invited to represent the Utrecht Young Academy. We soon mentioned some resistance for a wider embrace of such practices, including fear, misinformation, and persisting old culture. This motivated some of us at the Utrecht Young Academy to start the Road to Open Science podcast together with our colleagues at the university library and the Open Science Community Utrecht. Our main goal was to communicate the basic principles of open science and engage in (sometimes difficult) discussions such as credit, culture, and vested interests.
