"Working for several years as molecular and cellular biologist I felt that scientists are not sufficiently engaged in public understanding of sciences. So I decided to have a complementary training in 2D/3D animation in order to make scientific movies. Narration and animation allows to communicate scientific topics in a very pleasant and easy way."
