With a doctorate in oncology and a passion for popularizing science, Gaël Fortin shares science to make it accessible to everyone. After 6 years of research in the United States and France, and a thesis in oncology, he chose to make scientific communication his profession. He shares science with the general public at conferences, through collaborations, or directly on social networks with his YouTube channel and Instagram account Labologie. He produces short and long-form video content for a variety of audiences, as well as a podcast (entitled 3,9). Gaël Fortin is a member of the popularizer collective L’Exploratoire and the popularizer association Café des Sciences.
All beings have vital rhythms induced by those of planet Earth. Do they change over time? Does high-dose digitized life play a role in human energy regulation or disinhibition? Many psychiatric pathologies express a surplus of energy, in contrast to severe depression, where every step costs, as if vital energy were no longer present. Increasingly, we take into account the patient as a whole. In the case of cancer, this certainly includes its progression, but also how the patient feels, his energy and his mind. Could it be that what patients have always called the “good doctor” is the one with a particular therapeutic impulse? Because if therapy counts, the way it is approached also plays a role.
