PhD Candidate, Botany and Science Communication, Leiden University
My main research subjects are urban flora and citizen science. I am working on a Dutch citizen science project where we map out where and what different pavement plants grow in cities and towns, together with citizens. Using the data about pavement plants, I am interested in researching the impact of anthropogenic (human) disturbance or maintenance practices on the species composition and distribution of pavement plants. Secondly, I study the projects citizen science participants, their motivations and the impact of the project on lessening plant blindness and enriching their (urban) nature experience.
