To inaugurate the LoRE podcast series, we invited Dr Fabrice Not to talk about his journey as a scientist from his early interest in science to his PhD and later experience as a mentor.

Fabrice Not is a CNRS senior scientist at the Station Biologique de Roscoff in France. He studies plankton ecology through a mix of molecular and microscopy approaches, with a special interest in the complex web of interactions among planktonic organisms—especially symbioses. In his work, Fabrice explores the fundamental biological processes that underpin these relationships, aiming to understand how symbiosis shapes the functioning of ocean ecosystems.
