Meet Floor 

Floor studied Communication Sciences at VU Amsterdam with a minor in health communication. This minor inspired her to pursue a Master’s degree in Medical Humanities at Utrecht University. During her studies, she developed a strong focus on accessible healthcare and equality, with a focus on how scientific insights can be made understandable and relevant to a wide audience. 

What drives Floor 

Floor strongly believes in the importance of science for society. She believes that research findings do not belong solely within academic walls, but should be clearly communicated to the outside world so that everyone can benefit from them. For her, effective communication forms a bridge between knowledge and society. This is particularly true within healthcare, where a lack of, or inability to understand, health-related knowledge can lead to health inequalitie.
