Hello!

I am Dr. Erlijn van Genuchten

Global Changemaker in the field of sustainable living

As there are many things that require special attention these days, such as greenhouse gas emissions, microplastics, extinction of species and many more, I am contributing towards a more sustainable future. As Global Changemaker it is my mission to

- make scientific research on nature and sustainability available to the broad public, so that we can take action based on science

- increase our fascination and love for nature, and

- educate on why taking action is important.

About Me.


I’m a passionate science communicator, helping scientists in the field of nature and sustainability increase the outreach of their results and the positive impact on the environment without having to put in any additional time and effort. I do this by converting their publications into easy to understand articles for the general public and spreading these on social media (including Medium.com). My work inspires the general public to take action towards a healthier planet, because it not only educates, it also fascinates, and includes actionable steps we can all do in daily life.

 

I’m also a passionate cyber security specialist, helping companies make their web applications more secure. I do this by testing their web applications for security issues and reporting these back, so that these issues can be resolved before black hat hackers can, for example, steal data. 

 

I’m currently also combining my expertise in these fields as a member of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe task force on digitalization in energy, as reviewer for the United Nations Environmental Programme, and as advisory board member of the International Forum for Nature and Sustainability. Before that, I worked as an IT-security expert, taught at a university, did a PhD in Psychology, an M.Sc. in Educational sciences, and a B.Sc. in IT. I also wrote two linguistic books.

 

During all my roles and activities, I specialize in making complex topics available to the general public (including on TV, in articles, books, presentations, podcasts, social media posts).

Erlijn's postings are better than getting a degree in cognitive psychology.
