hold Masters’ degrees in Electrical Engineering (2001) and in Philosophy of Science, Technology and Society (2002), obtained at the University of Twente. In addition, as from 2001 I have been studying classical vocals at the Conservatory in Enschede (now part of ArtEZ School of Arts). My masters’ thesis for philosophy concerned an analysis of the emergence of so-called ‘Evidence-based Medicine’ along a theoretical framework based on ideas of Bruno Latour and Thomas S. Kuhn.
