    'Stars Shine for Everyone' project / involvement at CERN / Women and Girls in Science / Curiosity

    Jean-Pierre Grootaerd - dedicated voluntary member at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Ghent University and the Public Observatory Armand Pien. He’s also an active member of the Eurospace Society, the organization founded by astronaut Dirk Frimout to encourage young people’s interest in space exploration. Jean-Pierre is a passionate self-taught-and-made astronomer. His lifelong fascination with astronomy and space travel began in childhood and has stayed with him ever since. Note to the listening audience: Jean-Pierre, a native Dutch speaker, gave the interview in English, and I think he succesfully delivered his message. Due to tight timing - I had to compromise the voice editing, but it's overall good. Also, we rather had a nice talk and hence some questions came up during the episode which is not hard to guess 😉 Stars Shine for Everyone project website: https://www.ssvi.be/ Jean-Pierre on social media: LinkedIn:   / jean-pierre-grootaerd-600a91a6   Instagram:   / kijkerbouwvsrug     01:00 - Introduction to Jean-Pierre 02:31 - Staying Curious & Passionate: "difficulties can be wonderful" 05:46 - Stars Shine for Everyone: story behind how this project began 10:41 - Meeting Bruno Ernst in 2014 14:33 - "You CAN'T be whoever you want to be" 15:00 - Decision to Start: Partnering with Bresser’s CEO 17:00 - First Telescope Delivery: A memorable milestone 19:20 - The role of local supporters in project growth 21:27 - Small-World Story and the Importance of Cooperation 28:08 - Telescope Demo and Office Tour: A look inside Jean-Pierre's workspace and equipment 44:25 - Jean-Pierre’s Work at CERN: Insights into his role and projects 49:25 - Nobel Laureates' Signatures on Telescopes: The story behind these signatures and their significance 51:20 - Why SSVI Focuses on Community, Not Individuals: Discussing SSVI's educational approach and its community-centered focus 55:43 - "There Are a Lot of Good People..." 1:03:16 - Why Giving Up Isn't an Option 1:06:00 - Choose Friends Wisely 1:14:00 - Advice to My Younger Self and the Next Generation 1:15:43 - Staying Curious and Open-Minded 1:17:26 - Recent "Wow" Moments 1:19:12 - Women and Girls in Science 1:21:55 - Finding/Creating Meaning in Life

  8. Review on Data Science course at Le Wagon (9 weeks)

    2022/10/06

    Review on Data Science course at Le Wagon (9 weeks)

    Description given by Le Wagon: "More than a Bootcamp. Join a global tech network for life. By joining Le Wagon, you are joining a supportive community of alumni, teachers & tech recruiters. Benefit from life-long access to the course material, and to our network job offers." (source: https://www.lewagon.com/) Special note for listeners: I use AI to edit the sound/video of my episodes. Sometimes AI also can't get rid of all the noise, so please don't mind it. I don't earn anything from my podcast, and it's pure pleasure to me to speak with amazing people. As a kid, I was raised to share what I have with others, and I still keep doing it, but now in a larger context - I want to share information/what I know/what I learned with others. It costs me my own money, extra effort, and time. So, if you like the podcast - please share it, like, and follow. That will make me motivated and put extra work into improving my content!
