In Utrecht, he co-coordinated an EU project aimed at integrating socio-scientific issues and inquiry-based learning in primary and secondary STEM education (www.parrise.eu, 2014–2017). Prior to his position in Utrecht, he worked as manager of an educational program on the biobased economy for Delft University of Technology. At Radboud University Nijmegen, Frans was head of communications for a national centre studying the societal aspects of the life sciences.

From 2013-2017 she was involved in the EU-funded project SYNENERGENE, which was focused on facilitating public dialogue about synthetic biology. Liesbeth studied biology at Leiden University (NL) and science communication (postgraduate level) at Imperial College (UK). She worked in science journalism at Radio Netherlands the Dutch International Service for 9 years before becoming a science communication lecturer. She was editor of the Dutch predecessor of this book: "Wetenschapscommunicatie, een kennisbasis (2014)".
