Anatole Chouard

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

I aim 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 ModellingI now apply these teachings in my science and environmental conferences!

EXPERIENCE

Since 2021, I have given over 80 talks to organizations in all sectors: construction, health, transport, food, etc. If you wish, I can carry out a specific analysis of your company's, university's or association's field.

THEMES

All the subjects I analyze on video are available in conference format. There are about 60 of them, so we have a wide choice. If you have a request for a specific topic, it's also possible:
I'll adapt to your needs.

EXAMPLE

The most frequently requested 3-part conference:
- IPCC reports breakdown
- our cognitive biases
- the orders of magnitude of our emissions

DURATION

I'm often asked to do 1 hour presentation and 15 min questions, which I think is perfect.
Generally speaking, 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, with supporting slides.

LANGUAGES

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