# Science Is Fun: From the Human Body in School to Class 3 Pathogens
Welcome to the program co-produced by the University of Montpellier and Divergence-FM, which takes you on a tour of the laboratories of the Muse archipelago. Sylvain Wagnon, a researcher at Lirdef, talks to us about the role of the body in schools. In our feature segment, we head to CEMIPAI, one of the largest Biosafety Level 3 facilities in France.
Between two lockdowns, how about a little exercise? Swimming, soccer, handball, or yoga—many of you are dreaming of getting your bodies moving again after being confined by two lockdowns and nearly eleven months of the pandemic. And what about the kids? Of course, many doctors have warned about the risks of a sedentary lifestyle and have urged the urgent reopening of sports facilities for young people. Since late November, the Ministry of Education has even followed suit by launching the “30 Minutes of Daily Exercise at School” initiative. “Common sense,” some will rightly say—and yet it truly took a pandemic for such a program to be implemented and for the question of the role of physical activity in French schools to be raised once again. We’re discussing this issue today with our guest Sylvain Wagnon, a professor in the Faculty of Education and a researcher at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Research Didactics, Education, and Training.
In the second half of the program, we head to CEMIPAI, the Center for the Study of Infectious Diseases and Anti-Infective Pharmacology, one of the largest Biosafety Level 3 facilities in France. Why Level 3? Because it deals with Class 3 pathogens… Delphine Muriaux, the director of CEMIPAI, explains as she gives us a tour.
