Inspiring the next generation of scientists starts early — and last week, one of our students brought that mission straight to a Dutch primary school.

As part of the Butterfly Project, Céline Debou had the incredible opportunity to share her research with young learners, sparking curiosity and excitement about science in the most rewarding way. For her, it was as much a learning experience as it was for the children.

A huge thank you to Utrecht University for enabling Butterfly students to take part in initiatives like this. It’s one of the most meaningful things we can do as researchers.
