Bringing Neuroscience
to Life
About me
Hi! My name is Lieneke. I am a cognitive neuroscientist with 15 years of research experience and an endless fascination for human behaviour in health and disease. My work is interdisciplinary by nature. It centers on the making and breaking of habits, and on the role of dopamine in related cognitive processes.
From Science to Society
Knowledge can only make impact when it’s shared effectively. Not only with scientists and students, but with other curious minds alike. It is my mission to bring neuroscience to life and communicate with clarity, creativity and nuance.
My outreach activities have been incredibly diverse.
I co-founded, led, and wrote for the award-winning science blog Donders Wonders. I have presented at high schools, science as well as cultural festivals, and even at my daughter’s Kindergarten. I also feature regularly in national and international media to share my expertise.
Ever since high school, I am nuts about brains. On my personal blog – In a Nutshell – I share short posts about my work, exciting research in the field, or other topics close to my heart.
