A complex and vast world with a long history marked by multiple events. Little by little, this history is revealed by NASA and ESA spacecrafts sent to the red planet. Of course, their observations also raise many questions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Why has Mars evolved differently than the Earth ? What do its river beds, deltas and glaciers tell us about its past ? Could life have existed there ? I will tell a few stories on the turns and adventures of the exploration of planet Mars and on the resulting scientific investigations.&quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Francois Forget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Dr. Francois Forget is Director of Research at the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), and the Head of the Solar System Department at the Institute Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL- France), in the Laboratory of Dynamic Meteorology (LMD).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;In 1992, after graduating with an engineering degree from the Grande Ecole ENSTA (National College for Advanced Technologies), he went across the Atlantic to join NASA's Ames Research Center as a CNES (French Space Agency) engineer, where he participated in the preparation of the French &quot;Mars Balloon&quot; project for the Mars 96 mission. Upon returning to France, he decided to become a scientist, received his PhD In 1996 from the University of Paris VI, and joined the CNRS in 1998. He went back to work for NASA in 2004 and 2005.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;F. Forget's research is devoted to the exploration of planet Mars and the investigation of planetary atmospheres, combining numerical modeling and the analysis of space observations. He is strongly involved in space missions like Mars Express (ESA), and the upcoming Exomars program. He has also participated to the preparation of NASA's future exploration program as a member of the NASA/National Academy of Science &quot;Planetary Science Decadal Survey&quot;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;In 2004, Dr. Francois Forget was awarded the &quot;Best Popular Science Book 2004&quot; (&quot;Grand Prix&quot;) at the &quot;Salon du livre scientifique d'Orsay&quot; for the book &quot;Planet Mars: Story of Another World&quot; that was translated in Dutch, Japanese and English.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;He also was granted the Foundation del Duca's award (Institut de France - Acad&#233;mie des Sciences), as well as the Zeldovich medal (Committee on Space Research - COSPAR) and the CNRS &quot;Bronze medal''.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;span class='spip_document_1011 spip_documents spip_documents_center' &gt;

Un monde vaste et complexe avec une longue histoire marqu&#233;e par plusieurs &#233;v&#233;nements. Peu &#224; peu, cette histoire est r&#233;v&#233;l&#233;e par les vaisseaux de la NASA et de l'ESA envoy&#233;s sur la plan&#232;te rouge. Naturellement, leurs observations soul&#232;vent beaucoup de questions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Pourquoi son &#233;volution a-t-elle suivi un chemin diff&#233;rent de celui de la Terre ? Que nous indiquent les lits de ses rivi&#232;res, les deltas et les glaciers, sur son pass&#233; ? La vie aurait-elle pu exister l&#224;-bas ? Je vais raconter quelques histoires sur l'&#233;volution et les aventures de l'exploration de la plan&#232;te Mars et exposer les enqu&#234;tes scientifiques qui en r&#233;sultent. &#187;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Biographie de Francois Forget&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Fran&#231;ois Forget est Directeur de Recherche au Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) et Responsable du D&#233;partement du Syst&#232;me Solaire &#224; l'Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL-France), au Laboratoire de M&#233;t&#233;orologie Dynamique (LMD).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;En 1992, apr&#232;s avoir obtenu un dipl&#244;me d'ing&#233;nieur de l'Ecole Nationale des Techniques Avanc&#233;es, il a rejoint le centre de recherche &#171; Ames &#187; de la NASA, en tant qu'ing&#233;nieur du CNES, o&#249; il a particip&#233; &#224; la pr&#233;paration du projet &quot;Balloon Mars&quot; pour la mission Mars de 1996. De retour en France, il a d&#233;cid&#233; de devenir chercheur et a obtenu, en 1996, son doctorat de l'Universit&#233; de Paris VI. Il a rejoint le CNRS en 1998. Il retourna travailler pour la NASA en 2004 et 2005.
Son domaine recherche est consacr&#233; &#224; l'exploration de la plan&#232;te Mars et &#224; l'&#233;tude des atmosph&#232;res plan&#233;taires, combinant la mod&#233;lisation num&#233;rique et l'analyse des observations spatiales.

The presentation will be followed by refreshments.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;This is a special event organized by the Caf&#233; des Sciences for May 2012 with a prestigious speaker, Professor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hks.harvard.edu/about/faculty-staff-directory/jacques-mistral&quot; class=&quot;spip_out&quot;&gt;Jacques Mistral&lt;/a&gt;, an economist finishing a semester teaching at the Harvard Kennedy School.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;We will address a paradox of economic science: how is it possible that such targeted research that is widely taught can produce so much controversy and so few unambiguous results?

How much confidence should we have in this science? Are its teachings irrelevant? Jacques Mistral will draw on his economic experience in public administration and business to share his thoughts on this subject.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Registration&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style=&quot;width:100%; text-align:left;&quot; &gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://www.eventbrite.com/tickets-external?eid=3404658425&amp;ref=etckt&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;170&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; vspace=&quot;0&quot; hspace=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;5&quot; marginwidth=&quot;5&quot; scrolling=&quot;auto&quot; allowtransparency=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Our Speaker&lt;/strong&gt;:

The abbreviation &quot;T&quot; stands for thymus, the organ in which their final stage of development occurs [&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.france-science.org/#nb9-1&quot; name=&quot;nh9-1&quot; id=&quot;nh9-1&quot; class=&quot;spip_note&quot; title='[1] www.medterms.com' &gt;1&lt;/a&gt;]. The T cells are like soldiers who search out and destroy the targeted invaders.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;French research has been fruitful in immunology (the scientific study of the structure and function of the immune system).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;In 1989, &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Marie-Paule Lefranc&lt;/strong&gt; (Universit&#233; Montpellier 2 and CNRS) created the&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt; IMGT&lt;/strong&gt;, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system which became the international reference in immunogenetics and immunoinformatics. This system consists of 4 databases and provides a high-quality integrated knowledge resource, specialized in the immunoglobulins or antibodies, T cell receptors, major histocompatibility complex of human and other vertebrates and related proteins of the immune system [&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.france-science.org/#nb9-2&quot; name=&quot;nh9-2&quot; id=&quot;nh9-2&quot; class=&quot;spip_note&quot; title='[2] www.imgt.org' &gt;2&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;More recently, &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Jules Hoffman&lt;/strong&gt;, CNRS research director and professor at the University of Strasbourg was awarded the 2011 &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Nobel Prize&lt;/strong&gt; in physiology or medicine, jointly with Bruce A. Beutler, for their discoveries concerning the activation of innate immunity. Their findings have revolutionized current understanding of the immune system by disclosing the main keys to its activation. They share the prestigious award with Ralph M. Steinman for his works on dendritic cells and their role in adaptive immunity [&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.france-science.org/#nb9-3&quot; name=&quot;nh9-3&quot; id=&quot;nh9-3&quot; class=&quot;spip_note&quot; title='[3] www.nobelprize.org' &gt;3&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.france-science.org/CNRS,377.html&quot; class=&quot;spip_in&quot; hreflang=&quot;en&quot;&gt;More information about CNRS activities in the US&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
