Myriam Richaud participated in the writing of various works on aging (Voyage à l’intérieur d’un tardigrade – CNRS Editions, Survival Analyses – In Demographic Methods Across the Tree of Life – Oxford University Press, Aging of the Tardigrades – Encyclopedia of Biomedical Gerontology).
She is the author of scientific articles (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Biology, Scientific Reports, PlosOne, etc.). She carries out presentations to the general public on models of aging, tardigrade and senescence (Genopolys, Fête de la Science, Researchers’ Night, etc.). She also participates in popular science journals.
