Dr. Manon de Visser
Biologist, science communicator & artist
Hi, my name is Manon and I own Wild DNA!
In my career I learned a ton about animals. About their behavior, their DNA, their evolution... By studying nature carefully, we can understand life - and thus ourselves - a little better every day. Gaining such new insights? That is fun to do, of course. But I find it even more enjoyable to share this knowledge and to discuss it together! So I founded
Wild DNA: my own science communication, education, and art business.
Appointed as "Face of Science" by the KNAW*, the Youth Academy, NEMO, and NGO 'Stichting Lira Fonds'
*Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences / Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen
All of life exists because of nature's flaws
It may sound crazy, but all life is essentially based on mistakes. Mutations, followed up by adaptations. Studying the behavior, DNA, and ecology of animals is therefore extremely valuable, as nature is full of life lessons. All we have to do, is pay more attention.
I am happy to provide customized guest lectures or to assist with writing biology-related texts and designing educational materials (in both Dutch and English). Also, I am available as a trainer or consultant in nature conservation, science, and science communication.
Curious about what I can offer you? Check out
