Montpellier 2010, Year of Biodiversity

2010 is the Year of Biodiversity, not only in Montpellier, but also in Montpellier! ARCAD contributed to the Biodiversity Days that took place in the heart of the city on May 21-22. Jean-Louis Pham gave a conference on crop domestication on May 21. But did you know that ARCAD scientists were not only researchers but also actors? They made the show in the “Petit Théâtre de la Biodiversité” (the Little Theatre of Biodiversity) and revealed to a young and less young audience the secrets of crop diversity. Many thanks to Emilie Peylin (Université Montpellier II) who set up the event.
