030-Labday

The 030-Lab is a core-facility in the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital (WKZ) where researchers from all disciplines in the UMC Utrecht, Utrecht University and the Princess Máxima Center work closely together.

At the 030-Labday, researchers were able to present a poster to the children of the WKZ. The children could then see what kind of research is being done at the WKZ and choose their favourite poster. 2 of our research also participated and made the posters to show the children.

Victoria Reshetnikova made a poster for her research on the importance of gesture in language learning (see pictures below). Click on this link to read more about this research: Gebaren bij het leren van een taal.

Jorik Geutjes made a poster on the development of language in premature infants (see pictures below). For more information on this research, click the following link: Sound to Structure.
