Science outreach : from YouTube videos to video games ? - David Louapre

Abstract

In the past few years, we have seen the rise of the use of internet videos for science outreach, especially through dedicated Youtube channels.&nbsp; In this talk, I'll share my experience in using this media, and discuss how some of its weaknesses, especially the passive&nbsp;attitude of the audience, could be overcome using another media : video games. &nbsp; Biography: David Louapre received his PhD in Theoretical physics, in the field of quantum gravity. He then left academia and spent 15 years in the industry of materials, doing R&amp;D in machine&nbsp;learning and material science. In 2018, he became Scientific director of Ubisoft, one of the leading company developing video games. He owns the successful YouTube channel Science Etonnante.</p
