About

Olivier Bernard (B.Pharm, M.Sc, FOPQ, M.S.M.) aussi connu sous le nom du Pharmachien est pharmacien depuis 2004 et Fellow de l’Ordre des Pharmaciens du Québec depuis 2022.

Depuis 2012, il se consacre à la vulgarisation scientifique comme auteur et illustrateur, sur les réseaux sociaux, dans les médias et dans des livres. Son travail a reçu plusieurs distinctions au fil de sa carrière. Depuis 2019, il est également réalisateur du balado Dérives, le plus écouté sur Radio-Canada OHdio. Sa 4e saison, Le Labyrinthe de Lyme, est finaliste au Prix Michener 2025, la plus importante distinction journalistique canadienne.

En avril 2026, Billie Eilish affirme en entrevue qu’il est impossible, selon elle, d’aimer à la fois les animaux et de les manger. Ses propos, venant d’une artiste extrêmement populaire et figure majeure de la cause animale, déclenchent une controverse, notamment auprès de personnalités publiques partageant des valeurs très progressistes et de justice sociale.

Olivier Bernard décortiquera cette controverse à l’aide de concepts de pensée critique, en s’appuyant à la fois sur la philosophie et la science, afin de favoriser des débats sains sur l’exploitation animale.

Olivier Bernard (B.Pharm, M.Sc, FOPQ, M.S.M.), also known as the Pharmachien, has been a pharmacist since 2004 and a Fellow of the Ordre des Pharmaciens du Québec since 2022. Since 2012, he has focused on science communication as an author and illustrator, on social media, in the media and in books. His work has received several distinctions throughout his career. Since 2019, he has also been the producer of the podcast Dérives, the most listened-to podcast on Radio-Canada OHdio. Its fourth season, Le Labyrinthe de Lyme, was a finalist for the 2025 Michener Award, the most prestigious Canadian journalism award.

In April 2026, Billie Eilish stated in an interview that, in her view, it is impossible to both love animals and eat them. Her comments, coming from an extremely popular artist and major figure in the animal rights movement, sparked controversy, particularly among public figures who share similarly progressive and social justice-oriented values.

Olivier Bernard will break down this controversy using critical thinking concepts, drawing on both philosophy and science, with the goal of fostering healthy debates about animal exploitation.
