Bib'Fescht 2026: Alexandre Smirnov meets visitors of the Médiathèque de Rhinau

What is experimental evolution and what does it take to be a researcher?

On March 14, 2026, the “Escapades de la Recherche” of Jardin des Sciences moved to the brand-new Médiathèque de Rhinau, near Benfeld, Alsace, as a travelling art exhibition inspired by research works of Strasbourg scientists. Alexandre Smirnov (MITO team) was there to meet people and talk about bacteria, experimental evolution, and how and why one becomes a scientist.
