Moment de fame pour mon équipe : @lemonde vient de sortir un super article sur notre boulot (scientifique et technique) sur les exoplanètes. Et c'est cool de voir un peu notre taf toucher le grand public.
(sorry il y a un paywall)
D'ici qq mois on aura même un site grand publique en plus du site de recherche actuel. Je vous en parlerai à nouveau quand il sortira d'ici qq mois.

Here's why, how, and what it sacrifices.
