I recently published a novel entitled “L’Idiotine” (The Idiotin), which humorously recounts the adventures of Eliot Soulières, a researcher who has isolated a protein that, according to his friend Ché, is found mainly in the idiots and imbeciles of this world. Ché even suggests naming this protein “idiotin.”

Allow me to take advantage of this forum to suggest that you click on the “Roman L’Idiotine” page appearing in my homepage for a preview of this work, which subtly combines education and entertainment.

Returning to my initial point, the first comments I received from readers concerned the protein itself.

Does Idiotin really exist?

In this first article, I will describe the latest scientific advances in the characterization of idiotin. Subsequent articles will address specific aspects of this protein’s mechanism of action, which, as you will see, may explain many of the manifestations of human stupidity that seem to surround us more and more every day.
