Are you greedy, curious to understand the issues surrounding the solidity of a scientific result…or both? We meet on Saturday, January 13 from 2 pm in the Champs Libres hall. Saturday, January 13 at 2 p.m. 1

This Saturday, January 13, from 2 pm, in the Champs Libres hall, you will be able to discover, compare, evaluate and taste. 900 meringues created as part of a real scientific protocol…with traditional ingredients! They will be sold for 50 cents apiece, to benefit the Rennes Educational Association, which helps first-year medical students for free.
Your choices will be taken into account in the study on Reproduction in Science conducted by university scientists.
Reproducibility? This is a fundamental issue for research, because a scientific advance is only valuable if it can be found in another laboratory, independently of the team that produced it. How and why? You can discuss it while tasting one (or more) meringues with teachers and researchers present.

Where does this idea of ​​scientific taste come from?
Explaining how important it is to replicate research, especially in medicine, is complicated…unless you do it while cooking! Scientists from Erset therefore set out a challenge to 60 health students from the University of Rennes: take a model of an exquisite Christmas tree-shaped meringue made by a pastry chef, and reproduce it… using a provided toolkit and a fairly detailed recipe depending on the situation.
One of the main points of the study was to evaluate 900 meringues, on a scale of 1 to 10, based on the model of meringues that the pastry chefs cooked. Color, size and taste will also be noted by a couple of non-experts. The speed of meringue sales on Saturday 13 January is also a form of evaluation (the most successful should leave first), and will be duly taken into account.

when and where ?
Saturday, January 13, from 2 pm at the Champs Libres hall in Rennes.
