"There is a lack of deep understanding of how science works, making it difficult for society to truly listen to the voice of science. Strengthening this understanding is crucial—and one way to do so is by encouraging more scientists to engage with science policy."
We are honored to welcome Prof. Robbert Dijkgraaf, renowned physicist and former Minister of Science and Education in the Netherlands, for a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of science and politics.
This episode is particularly valuable for early-career researchers who may be questioning their path, navigating career challenges, or striving to make a meaningful impact on the world. If you're looking for inspiration and guidance on how to turn scientific passion into societal change, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we explore:
The power of curiosity—how it drives scientific breakthroughs and career achievements
The struggles of an academic career—why challenges are an essential part of growth
The transition from science to policy—Prof. Dijkgraaf’s personal journey and insights
Join us as we bridge the gap between research and real-world impact.
