                      Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff - French popularisers of science.

                      From their Times obituary:



                      The Bogdanoffs had chosen not to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, stating that their health was such that the virus was no risk to them.

                      E pur si muove, as Galileo might have told them.

                      Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff, popularisers of science, were born on August 29, 1949. They died of Covid-19 on January 3, 2022, and December 28, 2021, respectively, aged 72
