Piplettes, 18 months post launch: new coordinating team, same ambition

Have you heard of Piplettes? The popular science blog run by PhD students at the Institut Pasteur is continuing to develop with the same ambition: to share "the interesting, amusing and personal side of science" and to establish closer links between the scientific community and the general public!

Supported by the Departments of Communications and Education, the Piplettes website, launched in September 2021, now contains more than 20 articles on topics as wide-ranging as synthetic meat, zoonoses, DNA data storage and the gut microbiota.

The Piplettes project, spearheaded by a team of five PhD students, is undergoing constant development. The current team recently recruited new members for the next academic year. They are always on the lookout for new writers to add more articles to the website on a regular basis.

Why not join them?
