Pierre’s family has established a memorial fund to support young researchers pursuing graduate studies in palaeontology. If you are able, we invite you to contribute to this fund. Every donation will go directly toward helping graduate students following an academic path similar to Pierre's.

He was an exceptionally determined and hardworking scientist, with a bright and promising future ahead. Beyond his scientific brilliance, Pierre was always smiling, full of optimism, and good-humoured (even after our third Sys Bio rejection and resubmission!)

Despite this, Pierre stuck with it, and by the end of his time at Bristol, Pierre was a master of Markov models. Following his time at Bristol, Pierre secured a postdoc at IVPP in Beijing, where he continued his research on the evolution of feathers.

Pierre came to @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social for his Marie Currie Fellowship to work with Mike Benton on feathered dinosaurs. I managed to persuade him to look at the nitty gritty of ancestral state estimation, which was well outside his comfort zone!
