#Introduction

Now that I'm getting to know #mastodon a little better, I think it is time for a proper #introduction

I'm Bawan and I'm currently working as #OpenScience advisor for #UtrechtUniversity at the faculty for social sciences.

To my awesome supervisor Simone Ciuti, and of course the examiners. Special thanks to Kees van Oers who was the external and made sure we had a very extensive and fruitful discussion. #PhDone
