My passion for teaching extends beyond the university setting to schools and the general public. In addition to designing and delivering courses, I also enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with individuals outside of academia through our YouTube channel and NGO Neuroscience Alliance.
I prioritise creating a positive and inclusive learning environment, where individuals are encouraged to think critically and independently.
Overall, my passion for teaching extends beyond the university to a wider range of opportunities. By engaging with individuals from different backgrounds and levels of education, I am committed to making a positive impact on society through education and mentorship.
I have a plethora of formal and informal teaching activities, from going to bilingual schools (Native Scientists), to adult education (Pint of Science | InScience festival), professional workshops on brain anatomy and academic writing (Brainhack), and University-based teaching.
I am accredited as a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and hold the extended Dutch University Teaching Qualification (UTQ).

PUBLIC OUTREACH - PINT OF SCIENCE | InScience Festival
I love public outreach and have been part of Pint of Science on several occasions.
WORKSHOPS, SYMPOSIA & CONFERENCES
I have developed various workshops, symposia and conferences over the years that are based on hands-on tutorials. More details are here.
PATIENT RESEARCH DAYS
As my work is very much clinically oriented, I organised regular patient research days to explain what the studies they participated in are about, why we are doing them and how their contribution has made a difference.
Over the years, I contributed to the Brainhack community by running sessions, and projects, and organised the first-ever Brainhack in London. This has recently led to a publication in NEURON.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY CLINICAL TRAINING
I am part of the faculty for the University of Zurich neurosurgical training courses to teach white matter anatomy and methods to map them in presurgical settings.
BRAIN ANATOMY WORKSHOP - THEORIES, METHODS, APPLICATIONS
Thanks to the Excellence Fellowship at the University of Bordeaux, I was able to jointly develop a Brain Anatomy online Course with the Neurological clinic at LMU Munich. The course is available on YouTube here.
YouTube Partnership Channel: Clinical Neuroanatomy Seminars
I have developed an open science state-of-the-art digital research infrastructure through my YouTube Partner channel, which has>1.6k followers. My team uses the platform as a vehicle to host journal clubs, and talks, and develop international collaborations. My aim is to impact neuroscience teaching and freely share science education positively.
NEUROCCINO - a weekly online journal club
Every Monday morning at 9:30am Paris time, we meet online on Zoom and discuss exciting science from the last week. Everyone is welcome! All events are available on YouTube here.
