The free “Tick Reporting” application aims to improve knowledge of ticks and associated diseases. Involving citizens and researchers, this application makes it possible to collect data on the geographical distribution, the context of tick bites (date, area of the body bitten, number of ticks implanted, type of environment, reason for presence at the bite site , photo of the bite and/or tick, etc.) and the pathogens they carry.
Since 2007, more than 23,500 bites have already been recorded across France and more than 20,000 ticks have been deposited in the first and only French participatory library. Thanks to this data, researchers now know that:
the periods most at risk are spring and autumn; 15% of ticks analyzed carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease; 1/3 of reported bites take place in private gardens or public parks .
The new version of the application offers new features for citizens: possibility of reporting an bite in “offline” mode, creation of several profiles (for parents, children and pets for example) within the same account, information on prevention and post-bite follow-up, etc. For researchers, management of the database is now made easier thanks to new software making it possible to link bite reports and ticks archived in the library.
Thanks to the “Signalement Tique” application, citizen mobilization contributes to advancing scientific research. To download it, go to the platforms AppStore et PlayStore.

MIT Sloan interview invites 2024
**Interview with MBA Admissions Expert on MIT Sloan Interview Questions**
**Interviewer:** Welcome to our segment on MBA admissions insights! Today, we have joining us Jamie Thompson, an expert in graduate business school admissions. Jamie, thank you for being here.
**Jamie:** Thank you for having me! I’m excited to discuss the latest trends in MBA interviews.
**Interviewer:** Let’s dive right in. Recently, a collection of interview questions from the 2020-2021 MIT Sloan class was released. What did you find most interesting about these questions?
**Jamie:** One thing that stood out is the emphasis MIT Sloan places on personal experiences and self-reflection. The questions are not just about professional achievements but also about how candidates view their failures and the lessons they’ve learned.
**Interviewer:** That’s intriguing! Can you give us an example of a question that reflects this?
**Jamie:** Certainly! A common question was, “Can you describe a time when you faced a significant challenge? How did you handle it?” This pushes candidates to articulate their problem-solving abilities and resilience.
**Interviewer:** It sounds like they’re looking for authenticity. Were there any recurring themes across the questions?
**Jamie:** Absolutely. Many questions revolved around leadership experiences and teamwork. For instance, candidates were often asked to discuss a time they had to work in a team and the role they played in its success or failure.
**Interviewer:** Leadership is crucial in business. How should candidates prepare to answer these kinds of questions?
**Jamie:** Candidates should reflect on their personal and professional journeys. I always advise them to use the STAR method—Situation, Task, Action, Result—to structure their answers clearly and compellingly.
**Interviewer:** Great tip! Lastly, do you have any advice for prospective candidates looking toward future interviews at MIT Sloan or similar programs?
**Jamie:** My advice would be to practice articulating your story compellingly. Know your motivations, understand the values of the program, and connect your experiences to what you’re looking to accomplish at MIT Sloan.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Jamie! It’s been enlightening to hear about navigating the MIT Sloan interview process.
**Jamie:** Thank you for having me! Good luck to all the candidates out there preparing for their interviews!
