On Feb 14 2023 I joined fellow researchers and theatre makers on the stage of ‘Pakhuis de Zwijger’ (Amsterdam, Netherlands) to explore what we can learn from birds, and how new technologies allow us to rediscover the world through BirdEyes.
always happy to talk science!
Using powerful graphics and animations I regularly speak about bird migration research and conservation for birdwatchers, nature conservation organisations, universities and other audiences. I have also organised several scientific symposia and public events about bird research and conservation. Get in touch if you like me to talk at one of your events (in English, Dutch or French)!
As part of the ‘Vogel het uit!’ project that won the Academic Year Prize in the Netherlands, I got the chance to speak about contemporary bird research, and the amazing things we are learning about birds through GPS-tracking.
