With a PhD in astrophysics from the Université de Montréal, my interests center on exoplanets and the search for life elsewhere in the Universe. Since the end of my graduate studies in 2016, I have dedicated myself to science education and communication within the iREx (exoplanet research institute) and the À la découverte de l'univers program. I'm delighted to be able to contribute to the InitiaSciences project, as I'm keen to contribute to the democratization of science, the development of scientific culture and opportunities for young and old to experience the wonder of nature. This student initiative, a first in Quebec, seems to me to be a golden opportunity for young people to "do" science!
