Ionica Smeets ist Professorin f\u00fcr Wissenschaftskommunikation an der Universit\u00e4t Leiden, wo sie Wissenschaftskommunikation studiert, lehrt und praktiziert. Im Jahr 2023 erhielt Ionica Smeets f\u00fcr ihre Arbeit die Irismedaille f\u00fcr Exzellente Wissenschaftskommunikation, und 2024 wurde ihr ein Ehrendoktorat von der Open Universiteit verliehen. Sie ist Vorsitzende des Vorstands des von ihr mitbegr\u00fcndeten Nationalen Kompetenzzentrums f\u00fcr Wissenschaft & Gesellschaft (NEWS), das die Verbindung zwischen Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft durch bessere Wissenschaftskommunikation verbessert.<\/p>\n
\nFakten und Zahlen k\u00f6nnen nicht ohne Geschichten existieren.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Smeets studierte Mathematik an der TU Delft, mit Auszeichnung. Danach promovierte sie in Zahlentheorie an der Universit\u00e4t Leiden. Seit \u00fcber f\u00fcnfzehn Jahren schreibt sie Kolumnen \u00fcber Zahlen f\u00fcr die Volkskrant und erstellt zusammen mit Ype Driessen Fotostreifen f\u00fcr New Scientist und Skepsis. Au\u00dferdem hat Ionica Smeets popul\u00e4rwissenschaftliche Fernsehsendungen wie Eureka und das Nationale Wissenschaftsquiz gemacht und war unter anderem bei Zomergasten, De Slimste Mens und De Avondshow mit Arjen Lubach zu sehen.<\/p>\n
Zusammen mit Edward van de Vendel und Floor de Goede schrieb sie das Kinderbuch Rekenen voor je leven, das zahlreiche Preise gewonnen hat und in (unter anderem) Koreanisch, Spanisch und Deutsch \u00fcbersetzt wurde. Aber ihre Kinder sind mehr beeindruckt davon, dass die Donald Duck einen Comic \u00fcber die auf ihr basierende Pionica Smeets ver\u00f6ffentlicht hat.<\/p>\n
Ionica Smeets h\u00e4lt seit vielen Jahren Vortr\u00e4ge \u00fcber die Speakers Academy und steht mit ebenso viel Leichtigkeit und Freude vor einer Gruppe von 50 oder 5000 Menschen. Ihre Vortr\u00e4ge sind immer ma\u00dfgeschneidert, mit aktuellen Beispielen und Interaktion mit dem Publikum.<\/p>\n
