Le Collège à la Bibliothèque - Thomas Lecuit : Le vivant dévoilé. With Blaise Pascal, Robert Hooke and Buffon

November 4 2025

The Bibliothèque nationale de France continues its partnership with the Collège de France, offering its teachers a unique insight into its scientific collections.

Thomas Lecuit - collège de France

The " unveiling " of the living world is the result of a historical journey. The living world is at once obvious before our very eyes, but so mysterious in its workings that a long quest was, and still is, necessary to unravel its enigma. The aim is to discern what is visible and what is invisible in the researcher's approach.

Free admission. Prior booking required on the BnF website.

The lecture cycle is offered in partnership with Pour la Science magazine and Télérama sorties.
