I like science
I like science for its big
discoveries I love science for its
promise of a better world
I also like science just because
that it allows us to see the invisible
to have infinity I am a doctor in
physical
I had wonderful years
do research
yet yet science makes me
afraid of science scares me for
ethical and technical reasons the
science scares me to multi present
what about what resources spent
purpose to research
these are questions that concern you
all and yet you do not know anything
looking
you do not know what researchers
think write then plans tonight
I want to lift the veil on this
research has lifted the veil on the
science and allow you to take in
your future
to deal with obscurantism
michel serres has identified three
major revolutions in the history of
mankind
the first that of writing and then
the printing press today the revolution
of digital with her the knowledge is at
click scope
the body of knowledge of
humanity are accessible from
you are absolutely fantastic
it’s fantastic but it’s not
not enough to know or rather know it’s from
to be able to know is not enough there
must be able to understand
to do science that’s why this
evening I propose to you to become
citizen researchers I propose to you
get involved in this reflection
in this research and to participate
to citizen science
these participatory sciences today
are nonexistent but yet I am
persuaded that they can be a
powerful lobbying that can counter the
political pressure groups and
industrialists who can withstand these
pressures
so tomorrow citizens in
getting involved can be the actors
major revolutions of the 21st century
they are social economic
environmental
the beginnings of citizen science
it was yesterday
it’s networking thousands
of computers around the world for
a common cause in 1999
to say the Middle Ages of the internet
citizen science has
developed to search for
aliens and thanks to his peers
these precursors your computer you
today could contribute to the
research in many fields
fight against cancer
climate anais and many others then
it’s a first step but it’s a step
major my science history then
involved you participate in this
gait
but we must go further and for
to go further I propose a
metaphor today tonight I’m
the actor I know behind the scenes I
know the details I represent the
researcher who knows his laboratory
who knows his research you
spectators
you have access to some of that
know you see the emerged part of
the iceberg
you are the informed citizen and then I
can interact with you you are
rather tea or coffee
those who answer are the citizens
knowledgeable and concerned citizens
and then outside of these of this
room outside its walls there is the
mass of citizens who does not have access to
information
this mass of citizens tends to
reduce with particular with
new technologies the road racism
on video
messages on social networks
etc and I propose you to do
disappear this ignorance and for
this must fall the walls of this
room one must fall the walls of
labs so how do
and by collecting yourself the
scientific information and wanted
sharing among you by getting involved
in this dynamic you will have access
to the data
you will have access to the knowledge that they are
within range of click and then you have
access to powerful calculators
tablet smartphone computer with this
triptych data know calculator
you are integration
fyk you are a full member
of a community that would open then
on the world that will open on time
on the future and on the universe as well in
2016 many things are
collaborative we talk about crowdfunding
about a lot of field
garden game financing and many more
yet participatory science
still stammering
two examples the first the study of
eating behaviors and their
impact on health
you are put to use almost
daily by his studies and you
was waiting for an answer from the 10 rue dit
in ten twenty years do you involve
get involved will accelerate this
process and asked that these
data are free to be able to
control second example the study of
pollution measures exist they
are free it’s good but they are
still fragmented
so we move forward we have to go
much further what I propose to you
it’s a world where you could
collect data a quality
equivalent to that of the laboratories
of research
it’s the slaughterhouse of measures a world where
collected data would be free
and explained to allow you to
understand them
whatever your training a world
you could use this big data
global to do your own work
of research
so it’s not about removing the
profession scientist of course I
will not sink the boat on which I
am I who have to survive only my
doctorate and my knife but this is
rather poles and scientists
it is also about controllers
work sometimes but mostly he
it’s about enriching us with your
diversity then would you tempt it
is at hand these sensors that
collect this data
quantitatively and quantitatively is
can be accessed tomorrow
develop them my job and we do not
sees no obstacle infrastructure
digital
that allow data sharing
exist you already use them
daily
yet it lacks an ingredient the
actors you it’s up to you to do this
choice it’s up to you to enter this
dynamic
so how to revolutionize the session
of tomorrow
well you citizen in training
scientist
it may be stop or high school
engage yourself collect the data
you are the essential link in the
chain without you the science will remain
obscure you are 99.2% not to
to be scientific not to be
researcher 99 2% imagine diversity
in this price search in you
then excluding us from our side
researchers
[Music]
let’s open on the world that we
often misunderstood badly perceived to just
title often and then all that they
can
researcher of course but also
engineering technicians working at
make this world transparent
we must create a link between the world
real and science looking for a link
free from any financial relationship
a link free of any lobbying then
participated in this dynamic
so that’s making a choice but that
makes you a citizen or planted in
collecting data by participating
you acquire a sixth sense imagine
so the fantastic correlations that
you could discover together the
solar storms affect your
organization
does the weather affect
nutritional qualities of the fruits and
vegetables
can we reveal the dark matter with
thousands of detectors
radioactivity or better can we predict
earthquakes with these
same detectors and if you together
was nobel prize in 2026
[Applause]
