We would like to make you aware of The I Lab U initiative, organizing 'speed-dates' in which you can talk about your view on science. Read the message below, visit their website and find the events that fits your interests.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever tried to explain to the public what you do for a living? And, how easy was it? Not much, right?! We know how you feel. Depending on your mood and who is asking, you might sound like you are speaking in a different boring language, or like you are one of those crazy weird scientists we see in the movies!

This is why we created the I Lab U initiative. So people can meet in an informal setting, kind of like ‘speed-dating’, and talk about what their views on science are. Our speed dates are not about romance but about connecting people. You will get paired with members of the public and have five minutes to just… talk. What exactly you talk about is up to you. Do you want to talk about your current research? Do you want to see the public’s opinion on your scientific topic?

Join our I Lab U speed dating events to improve your science communication and be given a chance to move people closer to what they don't understand.. science!

Where? In Rotterdam and Delft.

When? Friday evenings once a month from January to May 2020.

Our events are themed so they mimic the steps of a good first date that inspired relevant interesting scientific topics. So, be creative and join your favourite event!

For our full agenda and to register to join our events, please visit our website (ilabu.erasmusmc.nl/index.php). To receive our updates, you can also follow us on social media and if you have any questions, feel free to email us on: ilabu@erasmusmc.nl

We look forward to seeing you at one of our events!

Thank you,
The I Lab U team ... See MoreSee Less

I Lab U: Speed Date a Scientist

Have you ever wondered what scientists actually do? Do they just run around in their white coats, mumbling incomprehensible words, and mixing random chemicals? Or are they locked in a room behind stacks of papers pulling their hair out coming up with the next Frankenstein’s monster? Do astronomers...

Support the manifesto against the experiment with PhD Scholarship students!

PhD scholarship students from the RUG demand in a manifesto the termination of the experiment with PhD Scholarship Students. The experiment has had many negative consequences for them, such as a lower income and less protection from labour law, while the promised advantages of the experiment have been absent. The experiment is a first step in a race to the bottom on labour conditions, and they don’t accept that any longer. You can support the manifesto via www.hetpnn.nl/en/2019/12/03/steun-het-manifest-tegen-het-experiment-promotieonderwijs-2/ ... See MoreSee Less
