Description

What if plants were waging a silent war that we can’t see?

They seem peaceful... yet every leaf, every root hides an unsuspected arsenal. Without moving, without shouting, they detect, defend themselves, and sometimes counterattack. During this lecture, you will discover the fascinating secrets behind these invisible strategies. No knowledge of biology is required: together we will explore this little-known world through stories, surprising examples, and simple activities. Keep your eyes open: plants are not as passive as they seem...

With Catherine Léger-Beaulieu, founder of Mitotique

In French, with bilingual question period
