I wrote a follow-up article for the Dutch website natuurkunde.nl detailing the biophysics behind cardiac rhythm. This time around the article highlights the unique ways in which excitation waves regulate our heart rhythm, but also how things could go wrong and initiate rhythm disorders. You can find the article here.

I wrote an article for the Dutch website natuurkunde.nl detailing the biophysics behind cardiac rhythm. It is aimed at high school students with basic mathematical and physical knowledge. This article highlights that there are more uses to high school subjects than people probably have in mind as it is not covered by a regular school curriculum. You can find the article here.

In regular sessions I speak about my passion for science to primary, elementary and high school students. This happens through a video connection which allows me to spread my enthusiasm all over the globe. Presentations handle a variety of topics and aspects taking age and interests of each particular class into account.

Past talks:

• 5th grade class, Ober Elementary, Las Vegas, USA

• 4th grade class, Co-op Academy Friarswood, Staffordshire, UK

On October 6th, the LUMC opened its doors for those interested in scientific research, with a special focus on youngsters. The Laboratory of Experimental Cardiology was also present and I showed the kids how to pipette solution A (yellow lemonade) and B (pink lemonade) into test tube X in order to show them how scientists work daily with those same techniques to try and understand how they can cure diseases and get poeple out of the hospital.
