Ben Verhoeven Email & Phone Number

Hi, welcome to my profile! My name is Ben Verhoeven and I’m a science communicator, improviser, linguist, teacher, coach, consultant, and father. Not necessarily in that order.I have a lifelong passion for the arts AND the sciences. As an inquisitive toddler, I discovered that floor tiles crack if you hit them hard enough with your wooden hammer. As a child, I started theatre classes several hours a week and continued till I was 18. It was my safe haven for a long time. In secondary school, I studied science and mathematics and took up music classes. At university I studied English and theatre only to continue in a master and PhD in computational linguistics. In the mean time I had started improvisational theatre. I’ve been going back and forth between those interests only to finally combine them in my own company ERLNMYR where science gets the stage it deserves!So what are some of the things I currently do? - Teaching workshops in science communication and related skills- Coaching researchers for important presentations- Advising researchers and institutions on their science outreach- Presenting and facilitating events- Science theatre showsIf you want to get some advice or feedback from me about a scicomm related question or want to talk about a possible future assignment, feel free to book your time slot in my monthly, free, online “Brainstorm with Ben” sessions or drop me an email for more concrete or paid assignments. -> www.erlnmyr.be/consultation If you’ve read so far, I’m sure you share my mission, so let’s give science the stage it deserves together!BenYou can reach me at ben@erlnmyr.be or +32 497 55 21 65.
