In November 2021, I joined the IRL REHABS to continue my current research and develop a project on the historical adaptation of chacma baboon populations.

HEAT team, MiVEGEC laboratory

HEAT (Health, Emergence, Adaptation and Transmission)

Between 2018 and 2021, I have been responsible for the team SHAPE and then HEAT which was composed of 8 permanent staff and 2 to 8 non-permanent persons (engineers, students, postdoc, etc.). I organised weekly meetings in order to optimise the implementation of protocols and future manipulations on the various projects, and two larger meetings per year where each member of the team was asked to present his or her research work (including the ITAs) in front of the whole team and some guests. We also implemented the first team website: https://mivegecshape.wordpress.com/.
