ABOUT ME

I'm Anatole, a science and environment speaker, and master of ceremonies.I also make science videos on my YouTube channel, for which I was awarded a grant from the French National Centre of Cinema. My channel is available here: Chez Anatole

MY GOAL

To explain complex subjects such as IPCC reports, the biodiversity crisis and artificial intelligence in a simple, rigorous way.

MY STUDIES

- Lycée Henri IV : Preparatory classes (Physics & Chemistry)
- École Polytechnique : Masters degree, Applied Mathematics
- University College London : Masters degree, Mathematical Modelling

My 3 Most Popular Talks

Understanding IPCC Reports

IPCC reports are essential.The problem: each one is hundreds of pages long.The talk: I break down the reports clearly and accessibly. We also explore orders of magnitude, planetary boundaries, and our cognitive biases.We then have a clear understanding, and the motivation to take action.

AI: All the Risks Explained in 1 Talk

Artificial intelligence is fascinating.The problem: its risks remain poorly understood.The talk: drawing on scientific literature, we analyse all major risks associated with AI.We then identify the most effective prevention strategies.

The 10 Worst Communication Mistakes

Communication is essential, whatever your field.The problem: we keep repeating the same mistakes.The talk: together, we analyse the worst mistakes seen in TED Talks and identify the most effective communication techniques.We then identify the 10 key rules for successful public speaking.

These three talks are just examples, I can of course adapt to your specific needs.

Let’s talk!

EXPERIENCE

Since 2021, I have given over 90 talks to organisations in all sectors: construction, health, transport, food, etc.

THEMES

All the subjects I analyse on YouTube are also available in conference format.
If you have a request for a specific topic, it's also possible: I'll adapt to your needs.

DURATION

I'm often asked to do 1 hour presentation and 15 min questions, which I think is perfect.
I can adapt to your needs: from 15 min to 3 hours if required.
For a multi-day training course: it's possible, contact me to discuss it!

FORMAT

You can choose between face-to-face conferences or video conferences. They are interactive (even those by videoconference), with experiments with the audience, team quizzes and questions/answers, in addition to the presentation of topics.

LANGUAGES

I'm bilingual in English and French, so lectures can also be given in any of these 2 languages.
