De grote geschiedenis quiz (The great history quiz 2013)

I was in the ‘Scientists panel’ of the great history Quiz in the Netherlands together with Midas Dekkers (biologist and writer of popular scientific books) and Ivan Wolffers (Writer and professor on family healthcare). We did really well but eventually lost…from the politicians! …on a question about Spinoza!!.

If you would like to see the show (It was on tv 11 May) you can watch it here: http://www.geschiedenis24.nl/de-grote-geschiedenis-quiz/uitzending.html

Afterwards the writer of fokke and sukke cartoons made me this supercool drawing, it says: “Vanessa, next time take a robot”..
