Trees stand up, just like humans | Catherine Lenne | TEDxClermont
Catherine LENNE |
TEDxClermont
• October 2018
In her laboratory, Catherine studies with her colleagues the sensitivity and responses of trees to mechanical stimulations. Trees, believed to be immobile, move with real coordinated movements. They correct their posture and incorporate several signals at once: the perception of verticality and that of their own shape.
A PhD in plant physiology, Catherine teaches botany at the University of Clermont in Auvergne-France and works at the Laboratory of Integrative Physics and Physiology relative to trees in fluctuating environments (PIAF). As a lecturer in continuing education in science for school and college professors at the House of Science in Auvergne she has been directing since September 2016, Catherine is also involved in spreading the scientific culture to the general public.
