Yesterday, I had the pleasure of taking part in the Children’s University at the University of Western Brittany (UBO) in Brest (France), as part of the Science Comes to Town project.

I gave a talk on the secret life of mudflats, aimed at children aged 8 to 14, told through nine key processes highlighting just how fascinating and essential these environments are to the functioning of coastal ecosystems.

A huge thank you to Enora Leproust for the organisation of the event, and special thanks to Agnès Payraudeau (PIC et pic), who illustrated my talk live. Seeing scientific concepts take shape through drawing added a truly engaging, educational, and poetic dimension to the presentation

Finally, a very special thank you to the more than 200 children who attended, for their curiosity, enthusiasm and contagious energy. They were extraordinary!
