Popularization of science

This sharing of scientific knowledge was therefore expressed through writing books. In 1991 he has been at the initiative of the perennial national event "La Nuit des Etoiles" (Night of the stars).

Daniel Kunth has also contributed to the writing of collective works and 200 publications in scientific journals. He regularly publishes articles in mainstream magazines and gives radio interviews.
