Great night for the Fête de la Science at the stunning Digital Floralia exhibition (Miguel Chevalier)-Musée des Beaux Arts Angers
I enjoyed chatting about our research on seed microbiota, holobionts and alternatives to pesticides 🦠👩‍💻🌱

Had a fantastic time in the jardin du col du Lautaret (Alpes) for a machine learning in ecology training 🏔️👩‍💻
Thanks to @anaeefrance.bsky.social and @symbioticworld1.bsky.social for the organization!
I have so many ideas on how to test ML on our microbiota datasets 🤓

We had a lot of fun doing our "Proof by Underpants" 🩲experiment with 2 groups of middle schoolers from Angers !
We will compare the soil health of an orchard and a grassland from our Experimental station UE HORTI @inrae-france.bsky.social
