Hi, i'm Pierre, I'm a plant scientist and study how crops respond and adapt to their growing environment, by using concepts & tools from ecophysiology and applied maths.
I only recently noticed that scientific and artistic approaches are very similar, so i fear i might also be coding for fun!

As I said elsewhere: What's supposed to be surprising about arriving at different results under different models making different assumptions, using different methods that also make different assumptions? It's almost as if our inference depends on the model & method.
