The multicellular living beings (humans, animals and plants) are made up of billions of cells. For studying them and advancing knowledge, the researchers cultivate them in laboratory. Researchs on cells are carried hope and zeal that scientifics are delighted to share with broader public.

The Stroll Cells (TSC) is a scientists and artists’s collective using the performing arts for initiating the public to the life of the cells and their laboratory culture. The collective explores the use of cells suits, of wanderings, of street theater, of dance, of songs, of surprise tours, …

Many of researchers, students and staffs of Lyon laboratories take part each year in training of scientific mediation organized by the TSC collective with the assistance of financial and logistical partners.

Scientific Apero in Dublin on 1^st November 2021 :

The French Institute of Dublin and the French Embassy are delighted to celebrate the Week of Science with this new Scientific Apero. This event will concern scientific mediation and Science and Art project “In the heart of our cells”. What motivate scientifics to share their knowledges about the cell ? Is theater an effective tool for scientific mediation ? Is there a particular audience to target ? https://www.alliance-francaise.ie/event-details/?eventId=804#/.

The happening will be animated in french by Marc Girod, with 3 guests : Isabelle Grosjean, engineer INSERM at the NeuroMyoGen Intitute of Lyon, Pierre Jurdic, INSERM retired researcher director and Virginie Gautier, associate professor of virology, principal investigator of Dublin University.

For initiating debate with Francophone public of Dublin, the TSC collective produced a video of 10 min explaining the creation of a theatrical performance about cells.
