Scientific progress is all about this tonight through a series, a film and a documentary.
1899, Alphonse Bertillon is at the origin of the scientific police as you will discover it in the new original creation of Canal +, "Paris Police 1900".
A "three in one" series with a police investigation into the death of a woman, the history of forensic science and the history of anti-Semitism in France at the turn of the century.
Exciting series, black, but fascinating.
On Arte, scientific progress is carried by Doctor Laurent embodied by Jean Gabin in a 1956 film.
The story of a Parisian general practitioner who settles in Saint Martin, in the south of France, a small village where he advocates painless childbirth and tries to convince the villagers of the father's place during pregnancy.
Conference in the municipal hall in front of residents dumbfounded by what they hear.
An extremely interesting film on the merits, considered a feminist work and whose theatrical release had been debated, not to say scandal.
The final scene is breathtaking, you are about to witness a real childbirth.
Certain dialogues on the contribution of science, the beliefs of the ones and the others about this or that doctor could remind you of recent controversies.
Without chloroquine ...
Scientific advances are not just about health.

Simple, accessible techniques that take environmental constraints into account.
In Malaysia, he discovers a Frenchwoman, breeder of black soldiers flies.
Flies whose larvae devour organic waste.
