I am a biologist and author born in Sainte-Sophie, Canada in 1984. I was fascinated with living things since I was a child. I received a B. Sc. in Biological Sciences at the Université de Montréal in 2006. I then started a research career and obtained a Ph. D. in Neuroscience at the Université de Montréal. My work identified neural connections that seem to underlie an important part of the respiratory effects during physical exercise. After obtaining my doctoral degree, I went on to study social interactions in monkeys at Duke University. Specifically, I was interested in how the brain solves complex interactions during social games. After my postdoctoral work, I moved to genetic research on neuropsychiatric disorders in the private clinical sector. My first book, The Revolutionary Phenotype, proposes a new theory for the emergence of life which explains how new layers of genetic code are added to the iterations of previous life forms.
