Institut Jean NicodPavillon JardinEcole Normale Supérieure29, rue d'Ulm75005 ParisFranceI am a research director at the CNRS (Institut Jean Nicod, Paris), where I work with the Evolution and Social Cognition team.
My work has focused on two main topics:
The function and workings of reasoning.
How we evaluate communication, and why we produce it.
I've also studied various cultural phenomena such as bloodletting or the ordeal, done some applied work on vaccination and the environment, and I'm now interested in why on earth science exists.
