Radio & Videos
Radio Taiwan International (RTI)

In 2024, my scientific work in Taiwan was featured in a three-part radio series and three video segments produced by Radio Taiwan International (RTI) for the programme “Femmes d’ombre, femmes de lumière” (Women in the Shadows, Women in the Light).

These French-language interviews explore my research on coral reef ecology, marine protected areas, and the use of 3D imaging and underwater technologies to study and monitor coral ecosystems in Taiwan.

Content is in French.
