HETTY HELSMOORTEL - MISSION 2026 (16+)

Wetenschapswatcher Hetty Helsmoortel is a woman with a mission: to inspire everyone with her passion for technology and natural science. For the sixth time in a row, she is hitting the theaters to explain the most remarkable news of the past year. Expect no dry lecture, but a full-grown show in which hope, humor, and wonder come together. In 2026, Hetty turned 40. Statistically, she is now somewhere in the middle. High time to take stock. Does science remain that loyal ally in the second half of her life? What if she gets a diagnosis at 75 for which there is no treatment yet? Will the latest laundry-folding robot be a blessing or just an extra appliance that we have to descale? And does her childlike enthusiasm for the exploration of space remain intact, even if the moon becomes a place where we seek as many raw materials as dreams? Over Hetty Stilaan there is little you cannot know Hetty Helsmoortel from. She is part of the intergalactically popular Nerdland Podcast, wrote several bestsellers, and is artistic director of the Nerdland Festival. After a doctorate in health sciences and eight years of cancer research, her true calling surfaced: giving science the place it deserves in our society, among the people. Because in a world that is becoming increasingly complex, science can provide a hold.
