Outreach
Science is for everybody, and the results of the scientific process should therefore be available and accessible to everyone. Below are some examples of public events in which we shared our research and passion with the general public (ranging from primary school children, and festival audiences, to out-of-field academics).
Appearance as "Wetensgappie" in science children's TV-show Proefkonijnen (from 9:18) on NPO 3.
Explainer video for De Universiteit van Nederland: Waarom jij niet hetzelfde ziet als iemand anders.
Dutch interview on NOS Radio 1 Journaal (NPO 1).
You don't see what you don't expect to see, even if its right in front of you. This is the main conclusion from our recent paper published in Psychological Science (see the press release here). Surya was interviewed on the main Dutch national radio station NPO 1 to talk about this. Click on the media button below for the interview (or check the full episode here).

In this do-it-yourself experiment, children test whether predictions shape our conscious perception of the world. Go to this link for more information on "Zoek het uit".
