#cnrs — Public Fediverse posts

#Introduction

Hello fediverse,

I am an interdisciplinary theoretical and numerical physicist working at #CNRS and newly affiliated with the SETE in Moulis, Ariège, France, a cutting-edge experimental and theoretical ecology lab researching the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on biodiversity and ecosystems.

For 20+ years before, I was an astrophysicist working at the large Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie IRAP in Toulouse .

In 2023, deeply concerned by the ongoing global crises, I decided to initiate a gradual shift of my research in theoretical and numerical astrophysics (from the Sun to cosmological scales) , plasmas physics and fluid dynamics at IRAP to research the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity.

I tell the ongoing story of this academic transition and related ethical research musings in a blog, "Looking up".

I am still in the process of building the foundations of my research in ecology, oriented on the theoretical and numerical modelling of ecosystem dynamics in space and time, and how they may shift through sudden bifurcations or more gradual erosion under anthropogenic pressures, with the long-term goal of informing their conservation and restoration. In parallel, I am due to take on a leadership role at SETE in a few months.

While I already had an account on mastodon and even before that on twitter mixing my personal and scientist life, from now on this will be my main academic account talking about environmental science and research policy in an official capacity, while the other will become private and strictly personal.

I may still post the occasional #Birdphotography and #NaturePhotography of #LariegeCestMoche here to pimp this new TL though 😎

RTs welcome if you support science that sincerely and modestly attempts to make sense and a small positive difference for the natural world

Jean-Louis Brunaux, l’archéologue qui a renouvelé notre vision des Gaulois, est mort
https://actualitte.com/article/133465/auteurs/jean-louis-brunaux-l-archeologue-qui-a-renouvele-notre-vision-des-gaulois-est-mort
#Archéologue directeur de recherche #CNRS et spécialiste majeur des #Gaulois, Jean-Louis Brunaux est mort le 18 août 2026 à Noyon, dans l’Oise, à l’âge de 72 ans. Des fouilles de Gournay-sur-Aronde et Ribemont-sur-Ancre à ses ouvrages sur les #druides #Alésia et #Vercingétorix, il aura consacré un demi-siècle à débarrasser la civilisation gauloise des mythes qui l’ont longtemps recouverte

The exceptionally hot summer in the Alps has been marked by a record number of rockfalls, some of them fatal, with "a large majority attributable to the climate crisis," a scientist says. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/08/21/climate-change/summer-heat-alps-rockfall-europe/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #cnrs #ludovicravanel #montblanc #alps #climatechange #heatwave

Ken Bugul, Mariétou Mbaye Biléoma à l’Etat civil, est une figure majeure de la littérature africaine francophone et mondiale. Née en 1947 au Sénégal, elle est particulièrement connue pour sa trilogie autobiographique : Le Baobab Fou (1982), Cendres et Braises (1994) et Riwan ou le chemin de sable (1999) récompensé par le Grand Prix littéraire d’Afrique noire. Son œuvre est riche de huit autres fictions romanesques, publiées entre 2000 et 2022, qui ont retenu l’attention de la critique.

Ken Bugul est le nom de plume de l’écrivaine Marietou Mbaye Biléoma, figure majeure de la littérature africaine francophone et de la littérature mondiale, née en 1947 au Sénégal. Elle est particulièrement connue pour sa trilogie autobiographique : Le Baobab Fou (1982), Cendres et Braises (1994) et Riwan ou le chemin de sable (1999) récompensé par le Grand Prix littéraire d’Afrique noire. Toutefois, son œuvre ne s’arrête pas là : huit autres fictions romanesques, publiées entre 2000 et 2022 ont retenu l’attention de la critique et méritent de plus amples analyses.

Ça sera le vendredi 28 février à 10h00.

Seront aussi discutés l' #ia Summit de #Saclay et l'actualité de la recherche en IA, bien évidemment.

"Introduced in the 1990s in the United States by black women activists, the concept of reproductive justice highlights how access to reproductive rights is impeded by gender, race and class oppressions. The entry presents the origins of the reproductive justice movement in the United States and the circulation of this notion in activist and academic spheres internationally."

"Introduit dans les années 1990 aux États-Unis par des militantes noires, le concept de justice reproductive met en lumière la manière dont l’accès aux droits reproductifs est entravé par par des structures de domination de genre, de race et de classe. La notice présente les origines du mouvement pour la justice reproductive aux Etats-Unis et les circulations internationales de cette notion dans les sphères militantes et académiques."

Les #CPJ sont avant tout un projet du gouvernement, et les primes #Ripec bien que toujours individuelles et problématiques dans leur essence même sont tout de même un progrès par rapport aux PEDR au #CNRS.

Au final, bien que très critique des politiques du CNRS (et de son absence de politique dans de nombreux champs) je suis comme Claire plutôt positivement surpris par ce discours (merci Claire d'ailleurs, j'étais parti pour ne pas l'écouter)
