The Journal La Synthèse is a popular science journal done by master's and doctoral students at the National Institute for Scientific Research (INRS). The adventure began in 2017 with two doctoral students who wanted to popularize their research project and offer this opportunity to their teammates. The aim of this journal is therefore to democratize the research carried out in the laboratories of the INRS. What is scientific research? What experiments are conducted by the scientists? What are the latest scientific discoveries? These are the kinds of questions popular articles answer!
The subjects of the articles are based on the different study programs of the four INRS centers: Center Armand-Frappier Santé Biotechnologie (AFSB), Center Urbanization Culture Société (UCS), Center Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications (EMT), as well as the Water Earth Environment Center (ETE). From bacteria to cancer, to hydrology, sustainable energy sources to social issues, you will be served! The articles, in English and in French, are presented with a comic strip which illustrates the subject. It is quite a challenge for a scientist to explain his or her research, but one of the best ways to develop science communication skills is to practice! With our growing team, La Synthèse allows INRS students to popularize their research project in writing. Who are behind the journal ? It's up to you to find out ...

« Pour moi la il a toujours été important de rendre accessible le savoir au large public. Quoi de plus logique que de créer un outil de vulgarisation permettant d'allier ma passion pour la science à mon désir de transmission du savoir? Comme disait Victor Hugo ''Chaque enfant qu'on enseigne est un homme qu'on gagne. L'ignorance est la nuit qui commence L'abime'' »
