On Friday, 28 November 2025, I had the immense pleasure and honour of defending my #PhD thesis on #ControversyMapping, which explored the #Anthropocene debates.
The study of science, technology, and society (#STS) continues here - and beyond.

1957 : Claude Lorius étudie les glaces de l’Antarctique. Il a une intuition qui fera de lui le premier scientifique à démontrer le lien entre l’augmentation du taux de CO₂ dans l’atmosphère et la hausse de la température sur la Terre. 🌡️ https://t.co/7fSGKWmVZz
#Anthropocene «Les textes réunis par Philippe Descola & Bruno Karsenti fonctionnent comme un carottage dans le sol fertile de la pensée latourienne. Ils rendent visibles la profondeur chronologique des thèmes, des collaborations, des amitiés» @lemondefr https://t.co/kCBR8LLlar
Paris, the capital of France, has recorded more days above 40°C this week than during the 147-year period spanning from 1872 to 2019.
Historic is an understatement.
This is so telling. So scary. So concerning. The predictions for 2050, made in 2014, on extreme heat in France, are vastly exceeded, already in 2026. Why? We have underestimated the rate of change. Warming is accelerating. Ocean heat is off the charts. Is Earth losing Resilience?

Tomorrow, a study day on the interdisciplinary challenges of the Anthropocene will take place in Bordeaux and online, in both French and English (@mshbordeaux).
Feel free to join us.

🌍 « Le bien public, c'est l'air que nous respirons, c'est l'eau de nos rivières. »
Il y a 25 ans disparaissait René Dumont. En 1974, il mettait en garde contre la pollution, le gaspillage des ressources et les dérives d'une croissance sans limites.

Happy Birthday, Sir Tim Berners-Lee! Berners-Lee received the 2016 #ACMTuringAward for inventing the World Wide Web, the first web browser, and the fundamental protocols and algorithms allowing the Web to scale. https://t.co/I0qPxd57sp
We are in the Age of Humans - the Anthropocene.
Our new article (open access) shows how even with a moderate future emissions scenario, global temperature will still be elevated by 3-4°C in the year 3000!
Lifetime of our CO2 in the air is that long.

"Rendre hommage à la pensée complexe d’#EdgarMorin, revient à reconnaître la portée profondément émancipatrice de l’exigence qu’elle sous-tend : relier ce qui a été séparé, contextualiser ce qui a été isolé, comprendre ce qui semble contradictoire"
