Ever since he opened his eyes, Jean-Baptiste de Panafieu has been passionate about marine life, dinosaurs, and mushrooms. Later in life, he expanded his field of interest to all of the natural sciences. After an initial training in oceanography, he taught high school science. Today, he writes novels, documentary books, and scripts for graphic novels -- both for adults and children. He has spent much of his energy writing about ecology, human/nature relations, and evolution. His website can be found at www.panafieu.fr.
