Our medical writing team has the necessary skills to assist you with a range of communication projects, including projects for the scientific community and those intended for the general public.

In 2023, our collaboration with the “Observatoire B2V des Mémoires” (B2V Memory Observatory) gave us the opportunity to investigate neuromyths (common misconceptions about brain function and learning) with Mathieu Hainselin.

Andréa Brioschi told us about the cognitive consequences of long COVID, which can affect about 30% of people for up to 3 to 12 months after COVID infection.

We also explored the prospective memory, which contributes to our creativity and decision-making, during an interview with Francis Eustache, and discussed the sources of “infantile amnesia” with Bérangère Guillery.
