Amputation : The road to recovery

Phantom limb pain is a striking example of the deep connection between mind and body - one that still eludes science. After an amputation begins a long road to recovery, relying on both physical and mental resilience. How does one get to make the body and mind work as a team ? To respect medical confidentiality and the variety of experiences, this episode develops around a fictional patient: Margaux. We created her story based on testimonials from amputees and healthcare professionals. Together with Margaux, and through real-life encounters with medical practitioners catering patients like her everyday, we explore the different physical and emotional challenges after an amputation. Credits: This episode was produced, recorded and edited by Lune Bonneton and Yuqing Yang, under the supervision of Lorraine Besse. Cover by Carlotta Poirier. Music tracks & Sound effects by Epidemic Sound. Guests: Louis Doat - Physiotherapist at LADAPT (Association for the social and professional integration of disabled people), Valentin Pommier - Ortho-prosthetist at LADAPT, Catherine Ory - Regional contact at ADEPA (Association for the defense and mutual aid of amputees), Nathalie Delmotte - Hypnotherapist Special thanks to Yves Robert, Clarisse Meyer, Sophie Compere, Eva Van Dam, Adèle Lavalaye & Paul Chambellant Hébergé par Ausha.

L’analyse des politiques et des réformes de la recherche

Jérôme Aust, directeur de recherche à Sciences Po et spécialiste des politiques de la recherche, revient sur les 20 ans de l’Agence nationale de la recherche (ANR). Créée en 2005 après la crise du mouvement Sauvons la recherche, cette agence est devenue l’acteur central du financement scientifique en France. Dirigée par d’anciens chercheurs et appuyée sur des comités d’évaluation, elle sélectionne les projets selon des critères d’excellence. Jérôme Aust met en évidence la transformation progressive de la gouvernance scientifique : d’un système centralisé entre les mains d’une élite de « patrons » dans les années 1960, elle est devenue un modèle compétitif fondé sur des appels à projets, particulièrement sélectifs. L’autonomie des équipes dépend désormais de leur capacité à obtenir ces financements, notamment en biomédecine. Dans ces transformations, ce sont les profils des dirigeants, mais aussi les formes du gouvernement de la recherche lui-même qui se redéfinissent. Dans ses recherches, Jérôme Aust combine archives et entretiens avec des acteurs de la recherche. Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
