Philippe Crouzet, author of the Biotechnologie-végétale website, has worked for over ten years on various aspects of plant biotechnology. He therefore shares his experience and knowledge in a clear and precise way, to help people better understand the changes taking place in and around agriculture.
"I simply feel that, in view of the scientific advances and the major changes they are bringing about, it has become absolutely essential to disseminate the content of these advances as widely as possible, so that they can be better understood and mastered by as many people as possible. This is the necessary basis for an enlightened public debate on the role of science in society and its evolution."
This is the "pro" biotechnology counterpart, offering another perspective to the discourse of those opposed to genetic manipulation. You'll be able to get a better idea of the risks, precautions and possibilities of these technologies. For example, between choosing between pesticides and a GMO seed that makes them less necessary... what's the choice if organic farming isn't possible?
In short, a partisan site, but clear and interesting.

The importance of adults in the development of school perseverance
Perseverance is like a muscle: if it is never stimulated, it will not get stronger. Thus, all adults in the child's life are of paramount importance in improving this skill. From teachers to parents to close family or even passionate strangers, the idea is to encourage young people to learn, not just in the classroom. Moreover, by stimulating effort and avoiding comparisons, the chances of discouragement are greatly reduced.
