Fête de la science 2018
Also this year we will try to popularize the best we can, the chosen theme is “Galileo mistake on the origin of tides” see our poster in french [poster]. Looking forward to meet all interested people @Gare Saint Sauveur next weekend!
Summer school
When the floor is too hot…
Babak’s paper on convective melting is out, check it here: [PRF journal]

Summer school on the beach
I co-organize a summer school with my colleagues Francois G. Schmitt and Stefano Berti. More infos @ http://active-turbulence.univ-lille.fr
Rome
I have visited Daniela Mansutti and Andrea Scagliarini at Istituto per le Applicazioni del Calcolo “Mauro Picone”
This month JPR cover :-)
Cover image: “Visualisation of copepods in turbulent flow from an individual behaviour model of jump-escape-reaction from turbulence. The background colour map pictures the instantaneous value of the fluid deformation (higher values in light colours) in a fully-resolved numerically simulated turbulent flow. White contour lines mark boundaries between so called comfort (low strain) and alert (high strain) regions. Copepods are represented as ellipsoidal bodies. Arrows indicate the direction of their instantaneous velocity, due either to fluid transport or to their intermittent jump swimming motion”. Ardeshiri et al. J. Plankton Res., 39, 878–890 (2017).
