Biographie
My scientific career has mostly centered on the use of genetics and genomics to answer conservation and evolutionary questions in mammals. I am aiming now to expand my expertise into building interdisciplinary knowledge in urban environment. I would like to develop a interdisciplinary laboratory that promotes an eco-social justice perspective in the study of urban biodiversity (from genetics to the relation between human and non human). An approach to biodiversity conservation in the city that ignores questions of social justice is politically unsustainable as well as morally unacceptable. It is becoming imperative to co-create interdisciplinary, and participatory knowledge in the face of the ecological and social crisis in the urban environment and also to eradicate efforts that perpetuate inequities.
In 2022, driven by the ethics and justice centered conservation, I joined the Belgian FNRS group `JUSTE (Justice sociale et Ecologique)¿ bringing together academics, researchers from different backgrounds, field workers, artists and activists, all of whom have different relationships to knowledge. I also joined the SEED team (https://www.seed.uliege.be/) as a scientific collaborator to bring and discuss the interdisciplinarity components related to the study of cities. I have been actively involved in ERGA (the European Reference Atlas Genome). I am also in the steering committee of the ELSI/JEDI (Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues / Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion), CS (Citizen Science).
I have also joined the scientific pool of the Federal Council for Sustainable Development (FRDO-CFDD), in the fields of biodiversity, forests, and climate, in recognition of the need to strengthen communication with policymakers.
Further, over the last few years, I have developed a keen interest in outreach and Citizen
Science activities. I created a non-profit organization (LacYme asbl) in Belgium to develop citizen science activities and new perceptions about the urban biodiversity in Liege using art, sciences and culture.
