"For me, being an open academic means that the research that you're doing is open to the ones you're doing it for. So that means that I want to involve the young people and #children that I'm doing research for, and not only as a participant, but also as a researcher." In our 10-minute open science podcast paediatrician Laura Postma shares her experiences with patient involvement, and what being an open academic means to her. ๐ŸŽง #openscience #academic #research #podcast image
