Podcast about the life and work of Andrea Evers

The HUMAN series 'What Remains' produced an episode about the life and work of Medical Delta professor Andrea Evers (1967-2025). The episode is available on various platforms.

Medical Delta professor Andrea Evers was a German-Dutch scientist who specialized in health psychology and was a professor at Leiden University. In 2019, she received the Stevin Prize, a prestigious scientific award, for her groundbreaking research on the placebo effect. That same year, she was appointed Medical Delta professor, expanding her position at Leiden University (Faculty of Social Sciences) with appointments at Delft University of Technology (Industrial Design Engineering) and Erasmus University Rotterdam (ESHPM).

She was an authority on psychological factors that play a role in the progression and recovery of medical conditions. And then she herself became ill. Journalist Maarten Dallinga spoke with:

• Andrea's sister, Monika Evers, with whom Andrea shared a special, intimate bond, even in the very last phase of her life.
• Henriet van Middendorp, friend and colleague, herself an associate professor of Health Psychology at the Health, Medical, and Neuropsychology department at Leiden University.
• Tamara Bremer, health psychologist, former colleague and friend of Andrea.
• Omer Van den Bergh, health psychologist at KU Leuven, now retired, who knew Andrea and her work well.
