"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Confucius
I’am Clement. My curiosity is my strength. Curiosity is my gas and science my vehicle to move forward.
Why iGEM? Because, it’s for me an opportunity to learn science by practising and thinking. It’s certainly one of the best science experience in my life. It is also an open window to discover new disciplines and ways of thinking. Moreover, I think iGEM is a chance for every student to learn from themselves. They can learn how to work in team, think as a team and develop an essential spirit for their future. No one can imagine this experience if he doesn’t live it !

"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows will fall behind you." - Maori proverb
For me, science and daily life are highly connected, I always want to solve problems by the simplest way. I’m passionated by a lot of fields: sports, music and science, especially biology and astronomy. To describe me in 3 words : geek, curious, determined. Why iGEM ? I wanted to be part of this contest given the possibilities synthetic biology offers. Then, I realised that iGEM would be the most complete experience I’d ever had because our team would start from nothing. Indeed, we learned a lot and in different aspects (fundraising, communication, innovation, finding sponsors...). This was really rewarding and I’m proud about what we achieved so far.

"“Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” - Steve Jobs
Some would say I am naive. I probably am, but it enables me to think about what other people don't. Am I idealistic? For sure, and I believe this is why I never give up and I could dedicate my life to finding innovative solutions to widespread issues. Why iGEM ? iGEM is a great opportunity to meet people from different areas in order to bear a major project. Sharing knowledge, dealing with science in depth, carrying out our own project are numerous reasons why I would recommend iGEM to any curious and open-minded students.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
Passionate and committed, I can spend days on a single question or idea, as long as I did not get a trustable answer. I enjoy achieving team projects, equipped with my smile and willingness. Why iGEM ? I firstly looked for informations by curiosity, and I was so amazed by the concept of iGEM that I rushed head down in the contest ! More than improving my scientific knowledge, I also wanted to learn more about every other skills required to lead a project from A to Z: imagination, social skills, scientific background, confidence in others, financial literacy, open-mindedness, self confidence…

"The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive." - Albert Einstein
Henri Samueli said "Passion is what gives meaning to our lives. It's what allows us to achieve success beyond our wildest
imagination. Try to find a career path that you have a passion for."
Software development and sport are my passions and the fuel of my life.
Developing software is fairly addictive: you start with a blank file, and at the end you have something useful and may become essential.
Why iGEM ?
Because iGem is a challenge and as in sport, challenges are the beginning of something new, better and bigger.

My conception of school is a place where students are more motivated to learn than teachers to teach. I noticed that last summer .. thus all is said about my motivation as a teacher ..
As a scientist, synthetic biology is a wonderful domain where creativity is endless.
Synthetic biology may be an essential source of progress related to environmental and societal impact along with ethical and philosophical concerns, which is closely connected to Albert Einstein's vision and my own scientific one.
