During the Communication Masterclass, guest speaker Jurjen Simmelink from the National Expert Centre for Science and Society (NEWS) explained why science communication is essential for a healthy relationship between research and the public. Drawing on his experience as a science communicator, TV maker and former press officer at Radboud University, he showed how meaningful dialogue and public involvement not only improve understanding, but also strengthen science itself.
