   "title": "La Vie de Recherche: climatologist Jean Jouzel, Gif-sur-Yvette",
   "description": "On Tuesday 24 November 2026 at 19:00 La Scène de recherche, the Paris-Saclay theatre in Gif-sur-Yvette, south-west of Paris, opens its series La Vie de Recherche with a public conversation with the climatologist Jean Jouzel. The listing calls it a sign of the times and of the growing importance of the discipline. Jouzel is an emeritus research director at the CEA who devoted most of his career to reconstructing past climates, and his work earned him the gold medal of the CNRS. He is an associate member of the United States National Academy of Sciences, was vice-president of the scientific group of the IPCC from 2002 to 2015 and took part in preparing the Paris Climat 2015 conference. The price is free choice: you pick 2, 5, 10 or 15 euros when booking online. A public talk with questions from the room is a good setting for meeting people alone.\n\n«Rencontre avec Jean Jouzel»\n\nStarts 19:00, ends about 20:30. Source: OpenAgenda — Université Paris-Saclay (open data). The listing gives 20:30 as the end. Tickets are pay-what-you-wish at 2, 5, 10 or 15 euros.",

   "description": "On Wednesday 25 November 2026 at 12:30 the auditorium of the Lumen building at 8 avenue des Sciences in Gif-sur-Yvette hosts Science à la coque, a short lunchtime session on space exploration through books, organised by Université Paris-Saclay and listed on Échosciences. Through the experience of Nicolas Beck, an author and science communicator, the session looks at the role the book as an object can play in outreach activities. The listing asks how a book can involve new participants and reach new audiences, and how it can support science communication. Beyond writing, Nicolas Beck helps design and run activities linked to his books, and space exploration serves as the example of ways to talk about science to a wide public and to engage the book world, such as libraries, school resource centres and bookshops. Entry is free. The session runs from 12:30 to 13:00. A short talk like this is easy to attend alone, since people come to listen.\n\n«Comment le livre peut-il permettre d'impliquer de nouveaux acteurs et de toucher de nouveaux publics ?»\n\nStarts 12:30, ends about 13:00.

   "title": "Meet a polar ecophysiologist, La Scène de recherche, Gif-sur-Yvette",
   "description": "On Tuesday 20 April La Scène de recherche, the theatre of the Paris-Saclay university on Avenue des Sciences in Gif-sur-Yvette, holds the last of its La Vie de Recherche encounters. The guest is an ecophysiologist and emeritus research director at the CNRS who is a member of the Académie des sciences. His first expedition to Adélie Land was in 1971, where he grasped the importance of studying how penguins resist cold and fasting and developed the techniques to find out. He is concerned with biodiversity and says that understanding and predicting the effects of global change on polar ecosystems is a scientific and technical challenge. The listing is in French and uses pay-what-you-wish pricing, with a free rate of 2, 5, 10 or 15 euros, and the lowest is shown. Booking is through the theatre's ticketing page. It starts at 19:00 and ends about 20:30.\n\n«La Vie de Recherche 3»\n\nStarts 19:00, ends about 20:30. Source: OpenAgenda — Université Paris-Saclay (open data).",
