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.

How Can Education Develop Good Feelings at the Expense of Worse?
Tyrannical schools should not exist. In some countries the education system reduces the likelihood of such places, in others, unfortunately, they are more common. It is up to those in charge to create a system that ensures that every school can nurture every member of its community.
Photographing from the air, with both feet on the ground
Aerial photography used to be a complicated business. You had to have access to a plane or helicopter, far from the reality of the average tourist. Technology has improved, and today amateurs and recognized experts alike can take exceptional shots without even lifting a foot off the ground.
Educational assistants and counselors, the evolution of the "supervisor" profession
There is no properly identified support group for supervisors; there is high turnover and no incentive for anyone to enter the profession. There is a need for, at a minimum, basic online training and a support and referral site/group, even if only to explain the basics of the profession, responsibilities and possible recourses. The role is bound to grow; who will take on the task of enhancing it?
Training enters a silent revolution
The crisis of work is linked to the crisis of training. How can we readjust the organization of training to find the balance between work and the reproduction of skills that training is supposed to produce?
Educational scripting, like education in general, has taken a computerized turn in recent years. However, with the covid-19 pandemic, it has become more necessary than ever to build one's courses through computerization. Fortunately, various solutions exist to facilitate the work of scripting to let teachers think about the substance rather than the form.
