Teacher / speaker
Ben Verhoeven is a science communicator and doctor in Computational Linguistics. During his research career, he found inspiration and techniques in improvisation theater to move away from the typical research lecture. With ERLNMYR he now passes on that knowledge and passion to researchers through presentation workshops and coachings. They also perform theatre shows that give science the stage it deserves.
