Christophe Daussy (LPL) – Winner of the 2024 Jean Perrin Prize of the French Society of Physics
Awarded by the French Physics Society, the Jean Perrin Prize recognizes particularly successful efforts to popularize science. In 2021, with the support of the French Optical Society, Christophe Daussy, a lecturer and researcher at the LPL, Sorbonne Paris Nord University, relaunched a project that was initially started within the Atouts Sciences association in 2015, for the International Year of Light. It was this educational kit project, called LightBox, that caught the attention of the jury for the Jean Perrin Prize of the French Society of Physics. FIRST-TF is a partner in the LightBox project, contributing to its funding
