Biography edit
Léa Bello graduated from the École normale supérieure in Lyon with a PhD in geophysics. In January 2015, she defended her thesis in Earth sciences, entitled "Prediction of terrestrial convective structures",[1] before training in scientific communication at the Institut de la communication et des médias [Fr] in Grenoble.[2] She holds a master's degree in scientific communication.[3]
At the end of 2017, the CNRS launched the popular science YouTube channel Zeste de science, hosted by Léa Bello, where, in "an offbeat tone, she presents ongoing research or a recent discovery".[3] In 2019, she teamed up with Sébastien Carassou for the international science film festival, and their script on paleoclimatology won the Science & Live TV – Science "shorts" prize.[4]
She then joined the team behind the YouTube channel Le Vortex [Fr], launched in March 2019, and also focusing on popularizing science,[5] where she and Manon Bril [Fr] published a video on gender stereotypes and household appliances. Léa Bello participates in other science channels, such as Avides de recherche, where she delivers an analysis of Netflix,[6] and Balade mentale [Fr], on underwater life.[4]
