Hetty Helsmoortel | The best science news of the past year (try-out)

In 2026, science watcher Hetty Helsmoortel turned 40. According to average life expectancy, she is now statistically somewhere in the middle. High time to take stock. Will science and curiosity remain faithful allies in the second half of her life? What if she gets a diagnosis at 75 for which there is no treatment yet? Won't she be angry then, because perhaps too much time was wasted somewhere in 2026? Will that latest laundry-folding robot, for which the foundation might have been laid in 2026, be a blessing by then... or just an extra appliance that we have to descale? In ‘Missie 2026’ (Mission 2026), Hetty’s hope, humor, and wonder come together again. For the sixth time in a row, she wants to send everyone back out into the world after the show with enthusiasm and a head full of new insights.
