Lucy, la pionnière (audio)
A l’occasion du colloque « Les sciences dans les années 70 », Yves Coppens revient sur son activité de paléontologiste et sur les nombreuses campagnes de fouilles menées dès les années 1920 dans le cadre de la recherche sur les origines de l’homme. Il retrace en particulier les prémices et la découverte dans les années 70 de l’Australopithecus afarensis, la célèbre Lucy.
Très médiatisée lors de sa découverte car elle détenait le record du plus vieil hominid
La feuille des plantes supérieures : fonction et sensibilité (video)
Au sein des feuilles, les cellules renfermant des chloroplastes captent l'énergie lumineuse. Cette énergie permet la synthèse de molécules complexes (saccharose, acides aminés, etc.) à partir de molécules très simples (gaz carbonique, nitrate, sulfate). Il s'ensuit un dégagement d'oxygène. Les herbicides redoutables inhibent sélectivement une enzyme clé catalysant une étape incontournable de ces synthèses. Certains de ces herbicides sont particulièrement efficaces et présente
The Future of Banking in a Global Economy
Today's financial and economic wreckage will provide the foundations for a system on which a stronger future will be built. This will only happen with a real cooperation and collaboration that is hard to envisage amidst the growing clamour for protectionism, speculation over the possible nationalisation of the banking system, and questions over the right of those at the centre of the industry to be part of the solution. In his lecture, Vikram Pandit will outline his views on the role of banking
The Case of the Pope: Vatican Accountability for Human Rights Abuse
Editor's note: This lecture contains sexually explicit language and/or profanity, please do not download if you may be offended. The Case of the Pope delivers a devastating indictment of the way the Vatican has run a secret legal system that has shielded paedophile priests from criminal trial around the world. Is the Pope morally responsible or legally liable under domestic or international law for the negligence that has allowed so many terrible crimes to go unpunished? Should he and his seat o
L'islamisme aujourd'hui - Hamit Bozarslan (audio)
Au tournant des années 1999-2000, un certain nombre d’ouvrages sont parus qui annonçaient la fin de l’islamisme. En France, l’un des plus marquants est celui de Gilles Kepel : Jihad, expansion et déclin de l’islamisme (2000). La thèse de l’impasse, voire de l’échec de l’Islam politique, avancée d’abord par Olivier Roy au début des années 1990, semble trouver alors sa confirmation. En effet, on assiste à ce moment précis à un essoufflement de l’islamisme qu

One of the guiding principles in the NHS today is that all health care should be
