This week, I had the opportunity to take over the NL_Wetenschap Twitter account, where I’ve been sharing insights about my research. It’s been an exciting few days, discussing the fascinating interplay between genetics, parenting, and child development.

In my work, I explore what influences how parents behave toward their children. Some key questions include:


  • Genetics: How do genes shape parenting behavior?

  • Interventions: Can short, targeted programs help parents improve their interactions with their children?

  • Intergenerational transmission: How are attachment experiences passed from parents to children, and how do children’s own characteristics play a role?


My Radio Interview on NPO Radio 1

In the middle of this week, I had the chance to dive even deeper into these topics during an interview on NPO Radio 1 in the program De Nacht van. The conversation aired in the early hours of Thursday morning, where I discussed my research and its potential impact on families.


As my time on NL_Wetenschap comes to an end (tomorrow), I’d like to thank everyone who joined the conversation on Twitter. It’s been a pleasure to share my work and connect with people interested in the science of parenting and child development.


If you’re curious about these topics or have thoughts to share, feel free to reach out!

New Podcast: Discussing Our Research on the Distribution of (Mental) Health Issues and Work Productivity in the Population and the Predictive Role of Child Abuse


I invite you to listen to a podcast where I, along with Professor Geertjan Overbeek, have a conversation with Tjip de Jong about our recent study at the University of Amsterdam. In this episode, we discuss our research on the predictive role of child abuse in unemployment and mental health issues within a specific segment of the population.


Our publication, titled "Does Child Abuse Predict a Population Segment with Large Economic Burden?", provides new insights into the long-term consequences of child abuse and the substantial economic costs associated with it. In the podcast, we talk about our methodological approach, the key findings of the research, and the implications for policy and future research.

Ik ben blij om te delen dat ik onlangs de geweldige kans heb gehad om over mijn promotieonderzoek te praten in de podcast “Over Onderwijs & Opvoeding”! 🧠🔬



In deze aflevering duiken we diep in de rol van genen en de omgeving in ouderschap en de ontwikkeling van kinderen en verkennen we de belangrijkste bevindingen uit mijn promotieonderzoek. Het was een fantastische ervaring om over mijn werk te praten en inzichten te delen met het podcastpubliek.



Een grote dank aan Tjip de Jong voor de uitnodiging en voor zo'n boeiend gesprek. 🙌
