# La Science s'aMuse: From Champagne vines to arthropods

Welcome to the program co-produced by the University of Montpellier and Divergence-FM, which takes you on a cruise through the laboratories of the Muse archipelago. Today we welcome Vincent Bonhomme, researcher atMontpellier's Institut des sciences de l'évolution, who takes us through the history of Champagne vines. In the second half of the program, Philippe Boussès will open the doors to a collection of very special arthropods...

Like every week, come aboard our science cruise and forget all about winter, curfew, the Brazilian English variant or whatever... The glass is full! Speaking of cups, help yourself to a glass, because today's Science Fun is Champagne!

A study published in the journal Scientific Report on January 27 sheds light on the history of Champagne vines for the first time.
Our guest today is Vincent Bonhomme, co-first author of the study. He is a researcher at theInstitut des sciences de l'évolution de Montpellier (Isem) and a specialist in vines and wine from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages.

In the second half of the program, we take you to the Institute for Research and Development (IRD), and more specifically to the Mivegec laboratory (Infectious Diseases and Vectors: Ecology, Genetics, Evolution and Control), to discover Europe's largest collection of arthropods of medical interest, with specimens from 97 countries. Welcome to the Arim collection, as Philippe Boussès introduces you to these little critters.
