While students are entering the ENS de Lyon, researchers are just as active.

As temperature records have continuously been broken all over the world, many of us scientist had to endure extreme conditions in our overheated offices. Climate change is happening, and faster than we’d like to think, but how does this play a role in the scientific community? Geodynamicist Nicolas Coltice - former doctoral student at the ENS de Lyon, professor at the UCBL at the LGL-TPE until 2018 and currently professor at the ENS de Paris - brings elements for reflection.
