 My name is Amourie Payerville, I'm currently a postdoc in Lawrence-Van-Melderen Lab at Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium and I did my PhD in Montpellier in Alain-Givaudin Lab in France. And then I moved for a small postdoc in between at Éric Ascalestime in Marseille at CNRS. Okay and what about the topic of this summer school attracted you in the first place? So my research is during my research my PhD and all my my different experience I'm working with a bacteria an environmental bacteria Photorabdus lomondi and this bacteria has a special life cycle which can link it to evolution and to be interested in this kind of approach and there is also a linked with antimicrobial peptide and so the topic of this summer school is evolution and antimicrobial peptide was a perfect fit. A perfect match for your research. Yeah okay and yeah how's the experience been in the summer school? We're near the end now you've been here for a few days but how have you found the experience you know not just entertainment-wise but sort of intellectually as well? I think that this is really the perfect match for postdoc because when we're a postdoc we have quite an idea of what we like in science we have experience and so having a long time intimate if I can say with all the postdoc and PIs during 10 days is really amazing to share about science have the time to to to discuss about many many different topic having four talks per day is really amazing because you can really have a broad knowledge about all the different PIs and we are also at this time looking for the next position or trying to start our lab so it's a perfect way to start collaboration and being able to exchange so yeah that's really that's really amazing I would say that yeah it's really really nice when you're a postdoc to come here and so you know the whole of the last week you've been through sort of creating new ideas and thinking about some things are there any ideas that you want to take back with you to your research? Yeah definitely I mean I was you're always at the main project of your when you're a postdoc and you also have always small topic on the side side project and I've been stuck with the several ones that I didn't knew what to do next and here we discuss with so many PIs about all our results and it really make you have new ideas and so I'm really excited to go back to the lab actually and start new experiment too yeah you might have solutions now yeah definitely definitely and you have even collaboration with other lab that can start that's really amazing yeah and I guess you know did you know any of the postdocs here before you joined or? Actually no no no I know the name of some of them but I did I didn't met any before coming here okay and now there's like a nice network of this class amongst each other to share ideas in the future then yeah definitely so this really the fact that you have still a topic is a it's a broad topic so you still have you are not staying in your field but you still have some common interest and so this is really something that can make you have collaborations in the future definitely do you have any sort of favorite moments from the last 10 days that will stick in your memory for a while? One moment well it could be a talk an idea it could be just something funny yeah I think that we were talking with I mean personally when I was talking about my side project it was really like I was talking with Devin and Olivier Tenayon about this project that I have on the side and they really unlock some some some key point that I really need to to develop and so this is I think something that will play a big big big step. Nice and if you had to sum up the summer school in three words what would you choose? The summer school in general not only the the what is your time here yeah could be the place could be the talks the topics the experience I would say yeah I would say I don't know like evolution because definitely this is one of the the keyword here and it was really nice to me exchange collaboration maybe yeah so evolution exchange and collaboration yeah awesome well thanks for your time today and thanks for sitting here and talking to me through this you've got one more day left I think so yeah enjoy the last day and the last time thanks thanks for yeah coming to the summer school thanks to you Joseph yeah see you thanks a lot
