Pierre Baduel
graduate student in Cambridge, Massachusetts
After an engineering degree in France from École Polytechnique, I am now studying plant genetics and epigenetics in Kirsten Bomblies' lab at Harvard.
As a member of the corps des Mines, one of the French corps d'État of inter-ministerial engineers, I am very interested in the interaction between Science, Public Policy and Innovation. At Harvard, I work with the GSAS Science Policy Group as a coordinator for the January-minicourse Science and Shaping Public Policy, and also wrote for Science in the News about gene patenting and its potential impacts on the biotech scene.
