On Thursday, November 14, at 8 p.m. at the MJC in Chambéry, the scientific culture association Science Action is organizing a meeting on the theme "Well-being: a vital need, but at what cost?"
ABOUT THE MEETING
In recent years, the idea of "well-being" has taken over the media. Newspapers and magazines, books, TV and radio shows have all jumped on the bandwagon. But what does this term, which is now part of everyday language, actually mean?
What is well-being? Is this term defined medically? Are activities related to well-being regulated? What biological phenomena are involved? How can we feel good about our bodies and ourselves? What governs this state of fulfillment? What really enables us to achieve this feeling of well-being?
To answer all these questions, the Science Actions association will welcome several speakers who are specialists in the field to this coffee debate.
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
- Christophe Broche: lawyer at the Antoine Favre Law Research Center at the University of Grenoble Alpes (USMB)
- Olivier Lavastre: researcher at the CERAG research center at the University of Grenoble, specialist in well-being hormones
- Cyril Lips: high school philosophy teacher
- Marine Paucsik: Senior Lecturer at the Inter-University Psychology Laboratory (LIP/PC2S), psychologist specializing in emotional regulation
ABOUT SCIENCE CAFÉS
Science Cafés allow the general public to discuss a wide range of topics, often related to current events, with experts and researchers in a friendly atmosphere. They are organized by the Science-Actions association, in collaboration with the University of Savoie Mont Blanc, the city of Chambéry, the Astrée cinema, and the MJC youth center in Chambéry.
These evenings are organized around the principle of a debate, which is based on questions asked by the audience to the speakers. They are neither lectures nor conferences given by a speaker. They allow everyone to form their own opinion on often complex subjects for which there is no simple or single solution. They also provide an opportunity to learn more about the research being carried out locally in the Chambéry area and neighboring regions by researchers, engineers, and doctors who volunteer their time to participate in our evenings.
Once a quarter, Cafés Science takes the form of a movie screening called Ciné Science. In this case, the film is shown at the Astrée cinema at 8:30 p.m. It is followed by a discussion with two or three experts on the film's theme.
