Disclosure Commercial assignments: SKA, beyond astronomy.(2010, Astron) I wrote various articles in English for this brochure about the Lofar radio telescope. Meer bewijskracht uit vingersporen, (2012, Nederlands Forensisch Instituut) I wrote the text, designed the infographics and did the final editing for this brochure about new ways to use fingerprint evidence in court. Nano, VPRO-gids bijlage (2013). In principle, this was a journalistic special section on nano-technology, but sponsor MESA+ did have the right to veto content. They did not use that right. I wrote several articles, did final editing and helped coordinate production. Until 2019, I sometimes wrote articles for the Nieuwsbrief van de Leidse Universiteit. Also, I wrote webdossiers on Quantumcomputing, Machine learning and on Astronomy for the Leiden university website. In 2017, I wrote texts and did interviews for the Blockchain Coalition, a task force for the Ministerie van Economische Zaken. Currently, I write articles about (mainly) Dutch mathematics for Platform Wiskunde Nederland |
