Bio
Sauradeep Majumdar
I know Norine through the FameLab Competition. She was one of the judges for FameLab Switzerland 2020 and later on she became a friend and a mentor for me for FameLab International 2020. She has been very kind, supportive and professional in her guidance. Her ideas in shaping and structuring science talks helped me a lot in preparing for and winning the FameLab International Finals. What I especially liked about her way of guiding, was that she focussed on maintaining a very nice balance between scientific accuracy and the art of storytelling, and this I believe makes her a specialist in public outreach, science communication and story telling.

J'ai travaillé avec Norine à l'occasion du hackathon de vidéos scientifiques pour les étudiants de l'UNIL et de l'EPFL - Exposure, pour les enfants - Exposure-kids. Norine a d'excellentes compétences d'organisation d'événements, est d'une efficacité redoutable, et s'est montrée toujours souriante et avenante (même avec peu d'heures de sommeil...). Le plein succès de ces deux événements lui doit beaucoup. Je recommande vivement Norine !

In one of the best parisian research institute in rare disorders, I identified and studied mutations involved in several craniofacial dysostoses (auriculochondylar syndrome, Pierre Robin sequence...) in Jeanne Amiel's lab, part of Stanislas Lyonnet's team. I discovered the close collaboration between researchers and clinicians while working with both stakeholders in a priviledge environment.
