Science Communication
As a researcher, I thrive to constantly improve my science communication skills in order to bridge the gap between researchers and the public. Making complex scientific concepts accessible and understandable is not easy however, the impacts of education and awareness on science are invaluable. I hope to encourages public engagement and interest of scientific issues, combat misinformation, and inspire curiosity and critical thinking in audiences.
As proudly French Canadian, I also aim to reach French audiences which are more rarely included.
Below are a few opportunities I had to share my research with general audiences through articles, interviews, videos, and TV episodes:
A scientific, technological and animal documentary series that focuses on the research that French-speaking Canadian biologists and researchers outside Quebec carry out on wild animals.
Une série documentaire à la fois scientifique, technologique et animalière qui s'intéresse aux recherches que des biologistes et chercheurs canadiens francophones hors Québec mènent sur des animaux sauvages.
