Hello!
I am Elian Schure, happy to be part of the Microbiome research and race in the ‘Local South’ project! #hpbio #philbio
I am especially interested in the interaction between colonialism and the life sciences 🪴
Outside of work, I run two book clubs and like picnicking in the park! 🌳

I am Aline Potiron, delighted to be part of the Microbiome research and race in the ‘Local South’ project! #hpbio #philbio 🐋🌱
Throughout my PhD, I relied on my experience as a microbiologist 🦠 to challenge major ideas in the philosophy of science.
When not doing philosophy, I like playing rugby 🏉
