From collecting dead mice as a child to getting a postdoc studying mouse teeth

When I was little, I told my mom I wanted a dead mouse collection. Although my mom was used to my strange ideas, she put her foot down saying dead mice weren’t the best thing to collect. Neither of us expected that years later I’d get my postdoc at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle studying mouse teeth.
