Popularization and media

The activities related to microalgae have generated many articles in national newspapers (Le Monde.fr, Libration, Le Point.fr, ...), and broadcasts on national TV. Several articles were written by the team members to explain the hurdles and potential of microalgae [36] , [70] . A book [65] was also written with C. Gudin (formerly at CEA Cadarache) on the potential of microalgae. We also developed a Java applet for the simulation of microalgae growth and biological pest control. The aim of the applet is for the general public to understand the goals and difficulties of controlling such systems.

We have also made a short movie to explain the advantages of our supervision software ODIN.

P. Bernhard has given conferences in high schools in the framework of the program “Sciences et culture au lycée”.
