"A passion for Physics" recounts the extraordinary adventures of physics research through the eyes of six young scientists.
Awarded prizes by the SFP for their discoveries, they share their passion for physics with a wide audience, children and adults alike. The book is designed to be understood by pre-adolescents (year 7). The English version was made possible by David Schmool, professor at GEMaC, and the ISL (Institut des sciences de la lumière de Paris-Saclay).
Read an extract (French version)
The aim of 'A Passion for Physics' is to present the profession of researcher, the source of many scientific and human discoveries. This initiative is part of a drive to overcome the cliché of the mad scientist, isolated, working alone on incomprehensible discoveries that often seem dangerous. The aim of this comic book is to show that this profession is accessible to all curious minds!
