SciComm Exchange
October 7, 2026 | Lausanne, Switzerland
For its third edition, the University of Lausanne (Unil) mandated me to moderate the first plenary session of SciComm Exchange - a joint training program with the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) for young researchers eager to engage in science communication and outreach.

Which choices for our health system?
September 24, 2026 | Bern, Switzerland
The Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences organized a symposium on the topic of a sustainable development of the Swiss health system. Which choices will we have to make in the near future regarding our health system in order to address the growing human, financial, and environmental constraints ? This was the main question at the centre of talks, workshops and a roundtable discussion during a one-day event I had the pleasure to moderate.

L’utilisation des animaux et de leurs alternatives en recherche: Exemple de l’oncologie
November 20, 2024 | Lausanne, Switzerland
This public event, organised by the University of Lausanne, EPFL, and the Swiss national 3R competence center (3RCC), was dedicated to discuss animal experimentation and its alternatives in cancer research with the public. I animated an expert round table of researchers, ethicists, and national advisors discussing challenges, opportunities, and moral considerations around the topic.

Les coulisses de la recherche
June 6, 2024 | Lausanne, Switzerland
Patient and public involvement and engagement, abbreviated "PPIE", has become a hot topic in many research areas. Medical research is one of them. It is now widely accepted that patients and caregivers have important things to say when it comes to research that directly affects them, but how a successful collaboration between researchers and public partners can be done in practice remains challenging. With the Lausanne Patient Lab in Oncology, I co-organised and animated a public conference series acting as a meeting point between scientists and citizens eager to work together in cancer research.

Forum public: Bien dormir pour rester en bonne santé
March 14, 2024 | Lausanne, Switzerland
During the "Semaine du cerveau 2024", I had the pleasure to animate a public forum at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) on the topic of sleep. Three researchers presented their work trying to grasp a better understanding of what makes us sleep better or worse, and why that is important for our health. During the Q&A, the audience could ask away and get answers to their burning questions.
