I greatly appreciate sharing what I have learnt, and I still remember how I loved hearing about space when I was a teenager. Over the years, I have regularly given conferences about our Solar System to primary and high schools, colleges, and amateur astronomer meetings. I have also participated to star gazing events with young students.
I often answer questions from the medias, from interviews with journalists to participation to live events such as radio programmes. I also write articles for general public magazines.
Télescope au Collège
The action "Télescope au Collège" (Telescope at School) aims at bringing small professional equipment in high schools to offer the opportunity to young students to discover deep sky objects, unreachable by naked eye. The action is aimed at fostering science among youth, by mean of outreach conferences during the day, and astronomical observations of the Sun (day) or planets and nebulae (night).
This actions is part of the parrainages of Paris Observatory. For more information, check out the TAC web pages.

In parallel to public conferences, I also enjoy participating to live events with the press (radio, hangout).

Because sharing what we have learnt is so important, I greatly appreciate to write astronomical texts for the general public.

Lectures in primary schools
Children are open-minded. Showing them the mysteries of our universe arouses their curiosity. I highly enjoy going into school and present topics in astrophysics
