Valentine Filleul

I'm a passionate scientist, driven by the belief that even the most brilliant research is useless if it stays hidden in the shadows! In 2024, I founded Haumea Sciences — a platform for science communication in the social sciences and humanities, dedicated to exploring how we relate to the environment and other animals. I've always been fascinated by the inner workings of the human mind: How do we build our sense of ethics? What drives our moral choices? And most importantly, how do we cultivate compassion toward others, the natural world, and animals? It's this passion for the complexity of human thought — and its incredible ability to create positive connections with the world — that inspires my work every day. With a PhD in social psychology and a diploma in Animals and Societies, I now use my academic expertise to serve a dual mission: helping researchers bring their projects to life and empowering grassroots organizations to amplify their impact.
