Simply put, <strong>they are rare moments of pure research in our daily lives as researchers<\/strong>. As a member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fondationbiodiversite.fr\/en\/about-the-foundation\/le-cesab\/cesab-scientific-committee\/\">CESAB Scientific Committee (CS)<\/a> for two terms, I was also able to witness <strong>the richness of the proposals and the scientific excellence co-led by French scientists from all fields of ecology<\/strong>. I would like to take this opportunity to <strong>warmly thank the outgoing SC for its commitment over the past four years<\/strong>. Now as Scientific Director of CESAB, I aim to enable the scientific community and project teams to <strong>reach the most ambitious and impactful scientific objectives<\/strong>. <strong>Supporting the postdoctoral researchers involved in CESAB projects<\/strong> in their daily work and scientific careers, in complement to the projects\u2019 PIs, is another managerial responsibility that I particularly value. My dual experience in leading scientific syntheses for ministries and directing a research laboratory gives me the initial confidence to take on these new missions, even though the challenge appears very great! While working for Cesab half of my time, I continue my research activities in landscape agroecology at Dynafor in Toulouse.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em> Aude Vialatte \u2013 Scientific Director of the FRB-Cesab<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">&gt;&gt;
