I am a theoretical biologist working at the crossroads of experimental biology, mathematics, and philosophy. I work both on the ways to understand living things and to take care of them in the Anthropocene, among many more specific topics.
Most of my publications can be found on my website.
📖 New Article: Computational empiricism : the reigning épistémè of the sciences
What do mainstream scientists acknowledge as original scientific contributions? In other words, what is the current épistémè in natural sciences? This essay attempts to characterize this épistémè as computational empiricism. This épistémè values primarily the investigation of specific phenomena and thus leads to the fragmentation of sciences.

📖 New Article: Entropies and the Anthropocene crisis
Entropy is a transversal notion to understand the Anthropocene, from physics to biology and social organizations. For the living, it requires a counterpart: anti-entropy.

J'édite un numéro spécial de Philosophie Monde Démocratie:
Le crépuscule des controverses théoriques dans les sciences contemporaines

just learned about superblooms, which is when dormant wildflower seeds germinate at the same time in absurdly high numbers
Le résultat d'un superbe projet croisant regards scientifiques et artistiques sur le vivant est paru chez @NaimaEditions
Ma contribution est accessible ici: https://montevil.org/publications/chapters/2021-Sens-Formes-biologie
Biomorphisme. Approches sensibles et conceptuelles des formes du vivant
Cce livre fait le point sur les travaux d’un groupe d’artistes, de scientifiques, de philosophes et d’historiens réunis autour de l’étude des formes du vivant

Didn't know that the phrase "Further research is needed" had its own Wikipedia page; parts of it almost read like a joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Further_research_is_needed
📖 Nouvel article en preprint : Sciences et entropocène. Autour de Qu’appelle-t-on panser ? de Bernard Stiegler, publié dans @RevueEcoRev
Bernard Stiegler soulignait l’importance de la question de l’entropie, conduisant au concept d’entropocène. L’auteur introduit et illustre ce concept pour montrer sa pertinence d’un point de vue physique, biologique et social.

📖 Nouvel Article en preprint: De l’œuvre de Turing aux défis contemporains pour la compréhension mathématique du vivant.
Turing distingue soigneusement l’imitation d’un phénomène de sa modélisation. En biologie, il n'y a cependant pas de cadre théorique bien établi pour encadrer la pratique de modélisation.

I just published a paper on #covid #vaccines to take step back on what is going on 😅. I address both #biology and #philosophy questions.
Here is the conclusion : "The damaging epistemic clumsiness of scientists, populations, and political leaders alike is characteristic of the response to COVID-19; to do better, theoretical accuracy and a new alliance of scientific and popular knowledge is required."
