We will have the great pleasure of witnessing the awarding of the SFP Jean Perrin Prize 2022, which recognizes a particularly successful effort in the popularization of science, to our colleagues from Grenoble, Sylvie Zanier (Université Grenoble Alpes) and Julien Delahaye (Institut Néel/CNRS) this Wednesday, November 6th 2024.
The ceremony is detailed here, but we would like to draw your attention to the scientific conference that will be presented as an introduction to this event, which should satisfy your thirst for Questions in Physics.
Abstract:
For the past 20 years, we have participated in outreach and teaching activities on the topic of color. These exchanges with diverse audiences, both scientific and non-scientific, and of all ages, have led us to reflect on how we approach and present the subject [1-4]. They have also prompted us to confront our perspectives as physicists with those of individuals from other disciplines, such as chemistry, biology, visual arts, and even history. During this presentation, we will showcase some key ‘live’ experiments and explain why we find them particularly interesting.
Using concrete examples, we will demonstrate how our biases in representation can lead to misunderstandings and errors, but also how adopting different viewpoints can enrich the subject of color. We will conclude with a presentation of the public website 123couleurs.fr [5], which we have been developing for 8 years, along with the numerous resources it contains.
