Not only was he a first rate scientist, he was often on television and in the press explaining science. He was a very eloquent speaker for science.

He also started a primary school program “mains à la pâte”(literally, “hands in the dough”), to teach young students about the wonders of science. Apparently a third of French school children have participated in his program.

Hats off.

The voices could be better, but I thoroughly enjoyed this.
