Teaching
I enjoy teaching at different levels of knowledge and have always found possibilities to do this, at the university as well as within non profit organisations of nature education (see next page). In this section I will give some examples of the courses and lectures I gave by my own (Free University of Berlin, Leiden University) and the courses in which I participated as a teacher (Leiden University, University of Groningen).
