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.

Think-Draw, or the art of taking sculptural notes [Thesis].
The ability to take notes is essential for both students and professionals. However, how does it work for sculptors? We can conceive of a sculptor sketching subjects for a study, but is it just that? Can these artist's notes be reduced to simple tracings in advance of the sculptural work or is it much more than that? Let's find out with sculptor Renán Calvo's thesis.
