Nicolas BUSSER /CNRS For the third year running, the CNRS is rewarding men and women who share scientific information and knowledge beyond the laboratory walls. Physicist Wiebke Drenckhan stands out for her original use of art as a medium for scientific mediation. Also honored this year were the "Math en jeans" association, which enables schoolchildren to discover mathematical research, the book "Tout comprendre (ou presque) sur le climat", which has been exceptionally successful in bookshops for a scientific work, and Criminocorpus, the first virtual museum on the history of justice in France. Finally, David Louapre is rewarded for his channel, which has become a mainstay of the French scientific YouTube channel.
