This interview-based article about Hubert Hermans, founder of The Dialogical Self Theory (DST), was intended to determine the founder’s personal relationship to the construction and development of his theory and to provide a portrait of the engaged scientist and vulnerable researcher at work. DST lends itself to interdisciplinary research and practice, and is used in diverse fields and contexts (e.g. psychotherapy; bereavement scholarship; higher education). However, little has been written about the founder of the theory. I embarked on this project to illuminate the researcher and theorist as an individual who taps into personal material for practical and conceptual learning, and to honour Hermans’s contribution to the field of psychology, in the spirit of a Festschrift.

Integrating knowledge and expertise from designers and scientists proposes solutions to complex problems in a flexible and open-minded way. However, little insight is available in how this collaboration works. Therefore, we reflected on a research project aimed at supportive care interventions for child oncology, and detected barriers and enablers for effective designer scientist collaboration. We interviewed medical scientists (n=2), designers (n=5), health care professionals (n=2), design students (n=3), and one design innovation-expert. Enablers appeared a receptive attitude towards innovation, and shared terminology facilitated by participatory design tools, internal communication means, and common goals. Largest barrier was unstable team membership. Future collaborative research projects might benefit when preventing barriers and stimulating enablers.

In this chapter, the authors elaborate on serious games and playful interactionsin modern scientific practices, and on the way they can engendermutual scientific growth. They use a research-through-design approach, inwhich three possible scenarios and prototypes are studied to envisage thenew role of the public library in practicing science in a changing society.Their conclusion is that the public library of the future should employcitizen science projects that are fun, accessible, malleable, and participatory,so that its new role can focus on offering meaningful informationat the right time in the right place, contextualizing information usingplayful solutions, bringing together communities to share information,and enabling new scientific practices in unexplored fields.

De laatste jaren is burgerwetenschap ofwel Citizen Science sterk in ontwikkeling. Burgers geven input voor onderzoeksvragen, beoordelen onderzoeksvoorstellen en voeren metingen of analyses uit. Meer handen voor de wetenschap dus, maar... wat kun je ermee en wat zijn de nadelen? Zijn alternatieve feiten zo gek nog niet? Maar hoe zit het dan met objectiviteit en de kwaliteit van de gegevens? Aan de hand van voorbeelden neemt Lea den Broeder u mee in de wereld van de Citizen Scientist. Discussieer mee over prikkelende stellingen en scherp uw gedachten.

Designing solutions for complex behaviour change processes can be greatly aided by integrating insights from the behavioural sciences into design practice. However, this integration is hampered by the relative inaccessibility of behavioral scientific knowledge. Working in a multidisciplinary of design researchers and behavioural scientists may bridge the gap between the two fields. This paper shares our experiences in working as such a multidisciplinary group on a large project, amongst others consisting of the design of interventions for workplace safety. Our cooperation was fruitful, both for design researchers – being able to better structure the messiness of the design process –, behavioural scientists – gaining in ecological validity of their methods –, and commissioners – increased trust in potential outcomes of the design process. However, difficulties preventing synergy also transpired.

In dit artikel wordt eerst beschreven wat het verschil is tussen Evidence Based Practice (EBP) en Practice Based Evidence (PBE). Vervolgens wordt ingegaan op het toepassen van EBP en PBE in de praktijk. Dit gebeurt met behulp van de begrippen normativiteit en contextualiteit. Tot slot worden, in het licht van het voorafgaande, de rollen beschreven die de professional kan innemen ten aanzien van het verbeteren en ontwikkelen van zijn handelen. Aan bod komen de 'reflective practitioner', de 'evidence based practitioner' en de 'scientist practitioner'.

Ter ere van twintig jaar NOVA – De Nederlandse Onderzoeksschool voor Astronomie – en 100 jaar Internationale Astronomische Unie organiseerde New Scientist in samenwerking met NOVA het Gala van de Sterrenkunde afgelopen december. De kosmische rariteitenquiz door Ans Hekkenberg en George van Hal over onder andere rondrazende zwarte gaten sprak enorm tot de verbeelding. Zij hebben onlangs een boek geschreven over een selectie van die weirdo’s in ons heelal. Ik mocht hen interviewen voor NVOX over hun passie voor sterrenkunde en het schrijven daarover.

Hoe maak je een optimaal voedingsproduct dat betaalbaar en duurzaam is en van hoge kwaliteit? Die vraag staat centraal in het werk van dr. Peter de Jong, principal scientist food processing bij NIZO Food Research. Met zijn kennis en ervaring van modelleren berekent De Jong onder andere ecologische voetafdrukken van voedingsmiddelen. Dat geeft verrassende inzichten.

Nurse clinician-scientists are increasingly expected to show leadership aimed at transforming healthcare. However, research on nurse clinician-scientists' leadership (integrating researcher and practitioner roles) is scarce and hardly embedded in sociohistorical contexts. This study introduces leadership moments, that is, concrete events in practices that are perceived as acts of empowerment, in order to understand leadership in the daily work of newly appointed nurse clinician-scientists. Following the learning history method we gathered data using multiple (qualitative) methods to get close to their daily practices. A document analysis provided us with insight into the history of nursing science to illustrate how leadership moments in the everyday work of nurse clinician-scientists in the “here and now” can be related to the particular histories from which they emerged. A qualitative analysis led to three acts of empowerment: (1) becoming visible, (2) building networks, and (3) getting wired in. These acts are illustrated with three series of events in which nurse clinician-scientists' leadership becomes visible. This study contributes to a more socially embedded understanding of nursing leadership, enables us to get a grip on crucial leadership moments, and provides academic and practical starting points for strengthening nurse clinician-scientists' leadership practices. Transformations in healthcare call for transformed notions of leadership.
