My activities

  • Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Montpellier. I teach courses in ecology, paleoecology, and plant biology, and I mentor students in their research projects.

  • I am an Associate Editor for the journal Frontiers Ecology and Evolution.

  • I host a French-language podcast called "Après la Thèse" (After the PhD). In this podcast, I interview with my colleague Cecile, PhD graduates from various fields to explore the diverse career paths and experiences that follow a doctoral degree.

  • I am a science communicator dedicated to making science accessible and engaging for diverse audiences. I write popular science articles (on Medium) about scientific institutions communication. I also develop and deliver presentations and workshops for local government bodies such as municipalities, regional councils, community groups, focusing on biodiversity and environmental issues.
