"My dream was to become a teacher, and I wanted to earn my teaching certification in biochemistry." As I gradually discovered the world of research at ENS Paris-Saclay, I realized that it was basic research—as well as the transmission of knowledge and the popularization of science—that interested me the most.
Baptiste ARNAUD has joined the Department of Biology Education and Research.
At the 2024 graduation ceremony, he received the 2024 Knowledge Transfer Award for his participation in the Antarctic project, where he led activities in classrooms and museums, and for his science outreach channel “Ordre de grandeur,” which he launched with two friends from the School and which aims to reach an audience not necessarily exposed to basic sciences.
He is currently working on his dissertation at the Pasteur Institute, funded by a specific doctoral contract for École Normale Supérieure students (CDSN).
