How to improve the health security of employees, customers or the public during the Covid-19 epidemic? Thermal cameras can be a solution, like this surveillance camera company based in Hérault, which adapts its solutions to meet growing demand. An example to discover in a report by our colleagues from France 3 Occitanie.

Hacking the Covid-19: that's Thomas Landrain's ambition. Former biologist turned biohacker, he created JOGL (Just One Giant Lab), an interdisciplinary and global laboratory which brings together on its platform more than 2000 scientists per day, and aims to become the Wikipedia of science. Why this movement called Open science is crucial in the fight against the coronavirus? Tour of initiatives from Europe to Africa.

It is precisely towards Africa that our eyes then turn. To fight the epidemic to come, the continent is counting on collaboration. This is confirmed by the business angel and creator of Appstech, Rebecca Enonchong .  From Senegal to Nigeria, Guillaume Grallet talks to us about these African innovators and entrepreneurs who can make a difference. 

What if we escape through virtual reality and augmented reality? In full containment, VR and AR are the precious allies of cultural places. Museums, gardens, large spaces, our experts put on their helmets to take us outside without risk.

Finally, April 22 will mark the next "Earth Day". An initiative more than ever necessary. The opportunity to discover OneHome, a project developed from NASA videos, which invites us to observe the blue planet from space and allows us to experience the Overview effect, as if we were astronauts. A global vision of the Earth to inspire confined human beings and stimulate collective planetary consciousness. Videos to follow every day on the Instagram account @OneHomeOrg.
