Dive into 5 new research projects: from the theory of evolution to the life cycle of stars, including the future of lighting, obesity treatments, and how memory works!
What will the directional lighting of tomorrow look like?
That’s what Rémi Colom , a researcher in nanophotonics at the Research Center for Heteroepitaxy and its Applications (Université Côte d’Azur, CNRS), is studying through the DILEMMA project.
This video is a follow-up to Whiteboard #2 "LEDs: The Power of Electronics"!
Dive into this Whiteboard video and discover directional LEDs where the light produced travels in only one direction!

Whiteboard #4 The Secrets of Biological Evolution Is evolution repeatable
under the same conditions?
This is what Vincent Calcagno , an ecology researcher at the Sophia Agrobiotech Institute (Université Côte d’Azur, INRAE, CNRS), is studying through the MUSCADO project.
Dive into this Whiteboard video and discover the evolution and adaptation of the European corn borer in Europe and Asia!

Whiteboard #5 The molecular mechanisms of long-term memory
Can we better understand the mechanisms of long-term memory using the fruit fly, Drosophila?
This is what Florence Besse , a cell biology researcher at the Valrose Institute of Biology (Université Côte d’Azur, CNRS, INSERM), is studying through the MEMORNA project.
Dive into this WhiteBoard video and discover the mechanisms of RNA transport in neurons and their role in establishing long-term memory!

Whiteboard #6 A protein linking obesity, inflammation, and type 2 diabetes
How does the P53 protein play a role in the link between obesity, inflammation, and type 2 diabetes?
This is what Jennifer Jager , a researcher in cellular and molecular biology at the Mediterranean Center for Molecular Medicine (Université Côte d’Azur, INSERM), is studying through the MacP53 project.
Dive into this Whiteboard video and discover the molecular and cellular mechanisms linked to the development of type 2 diabetes in obesity!

Whiteboard #7 Stellar Winds and the Enrichment of Space
Do you know about stellar winds and their role in enriching space?
This is what Andrea Chiavassa , an astrophysics researcher at the Joseph-Louis Lagrange Laboratory (Université Côte d’Azur, OCA, CNRS), is studying through the PEPPER project.
Dive into this WhiteBoard video and discover how stellar winds contribute to the mass-loss mechanisms of stars, enriching the cosmic environment that gives rise to future stars and planets!
