Spread your science!

Is it possible to discover the secrets of science while having fun? Is science an intimidating and abstract discipline? What if approaching a subject in a totally new way could break down psychological barriers? Should we believe the most illustrious scientists when they say they have no particular gift, but an enormous capacity for questioning and mobilizing their curiosity and imagination?

Do you still associate mathematics with painful memories of school, when lining up numbers and formulas was more like an abstract, incomprehensible work of art? Did problems involving the length of a rope, point A and point B, and leaky taps inspire no passion or even interest in you? And yet, explained with simple words and everyday examples, mathematics can be fascinating.

Are you curious about the beginning of humanity, the Big Bang, black holes and the Higgs boson? Do you have only the vaguest notion of what an atom, a gene or general relativity is? At the beach, in the kitchen, with your kids or with friends, discover cosmic infinity to quantum infinity, mind-boggling scientific concepts or culinary-scientific secrets.
