Back from two weeks of fieldwork in Cambodia's Mondulkiri region, where I was lucky enough to observe and film 7 elephants in the middle of the forest, hosted by the Elephant Valley Project. A wonderful experience!

New paper out, quantifying the force of pinching with the tip of the trunk of the @zoobeauval elephants!

I'm happy to share my first thesis article, co-first authored with @JulieSoppelsa , on the elephant trunk's use. In collaboration with C Houssin, @Boulinguez, @CamillePacou, P Gouat, R Cornette and E Pouydebat.@Le_Museum @UMR_MECADEV @WileyEcolEvol

I was delighted to present my research at the "Integrating elephants into more-than-human narratives" workshop organised by Violette Pouillard, Marianna Szczygielska and Éric Baratay at the @UniversiteLyon. The discussion was very rich and interdisciplinary!

Very proud to share my first paper in which we compared the shape of the humerus and ulna of three European mole species : T. europaea, T. occidentalis and the newly described T. aquitania.

Yesterday, I made my first intervention with schoolchildren thanks to the @savantures programmes. I talked to high school and primary school classes and their teachers about elephants, my thesis and the research profession! It was very enriching, I can't wait to do it again!

I was pleased to present my M1 research work at the CJCM about the comparison, on the humerus and ulna, of 3 species of European moles : T. aquitania, T. europaea and T. occidentalis.
