As a scientist, I believe it is part of my mission to transmit scientific knowledge to the general public, especially because science has an important role to play in defining the strategies to tackle the major societal challenges of the XXIst century.
I am happy to talk at conferences, organize workshops for school students, or write articles for scientific outreach websites.
