Every October, we celebrate science through the “Fête de la Science”, a popular public event that celebrates science, technology and innovation. It is open to all and helps promote the sharing of knowledge. This year, our Centre was involved in two visits.
Our visitors in the middle of an experiment!
Joseph and his kids, Axel and Maxence, discovered the immuno-labeling technique with Margherita.
