Talk by biologist Olivier Hamant on robustness, Perpignan
On Wednesday 25 November 2026 at 20:30 Le Nautilus in Perpignan hosts a talk and discussion with Olivier Hamant, a biologist who works mostly on plants and who also directs the Institut Michel Serres. His subject is robustness rather than the cult of performance: how living things cope with a fluctuating world, and what that means for people today. The organisers describe the talk as pleasant to listen to. The doors open at 19:00, reservations are welcome and are held until 20:15, and the talk begins at 20:30. The price is listed as a free contribution, with booking advised on the venue site. A public lecture is a good evening alone: everyone faces the same direction, and the question time makes it easy to start a conversation with a neighbour afterwards. «La robustesse plutôt que le culte de la performance ? Olivier Hamant est un biologiste travaillant essentiellement sur le végétal qui a décidé de sortir de son labo.» Starts 20:30, ends about 22:30. Source: OpenAgenda — Le Nautilus (open data).
