YoungSiT Symposium 2020: For the Love of Science
Scientists, educators and other interested parties came together for the Symposium “For the Love of Science" on Valentine's Day (follow us on Twitter @SciTransitYoung).
The participants appeared in large numbers and not just for free drinks afterwards. They all shared one passion: Science. An exciting program of talks and workshops guided the enthusiastic participants through concepts such as "Open Science", "Outreach & Communication", and "Career & Reward". Professor Cecile Janssens (http://www.cecilejanssens.org/) concluded with her story about better science through "slow science".
Looking back, we can be satisfied with what we achieved that day. The dean promised to dedicate himself to the three main themes and received a lasting memory of that day (a unique illustration created exclusively by Jeroen Krul [https://www.jeroenkrul.nl/]). It was a Friday filled with Love for Science, and a passion and urge to make the (scientific) world a little bit better. Valentine's Day was an energizer for the rest of 2020.
