Our colleague Fenna Plaisier, has won the Stans Award Beste Outreach 2019 for the podcast Uit de Ivoren Toren! The annual Stans award is a prize presented by the Institute of Environmental Sciences of Leiden University.
The Podcast Uit de Ivoren Toren (English Beyond the Ivory Tower) was launched last year. The aim of the podcast is to add the voice of scientists to the public debate around sustainability.
