Vincent Heidelberg: «We explore space to better understand the Earth».»

By Nicolas Locatelli · 05 September 2019
Vincent Heidelberg, whom nobody knows by that name and whom we'll refer to by his Twitter handle «Vicnet» (@AstroVicnet), has made a name for himself on YouTube thanks to his talents as a science popularizer, creating the «Stardust» channel. At the time of writing, the channel had 221,048 subscribers. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's first steps on the Moon, we meet this videographer and parachutist who is captivated by space and airplanes.

«Pop-Corn Girl» or the American spirit

By Ivan Garcia · May 21, 2019
«A »microroman" with a full-bodied flavor of teen movies and Voltairean irony, Pop-corn girl is a pleasant, funny read about the (mis)adventures of a young Genevan exchange student in a Chicago suburb. A mocking ode that appeals to our adolescent fantasies, revisited through a slightly cynical adult prism. And with a hammer blow, it shatters our illusions as well as those of the protagonist, which turns out to be very sympathetic.
