Environmental Science: Bacterial Communities in Lake Léman

This lecture features Coralie Chapelier, a recent graduate from EPFL, who specialized in water treatment and polluted sites. She conducted a research project on bacterial communities in Lake Léman, focusing on how they vary with depth, temperature, and seasons. Coralie's work aims to understand the impact of climate change on these bacteria and their potential risks to society. She emphasizes the importance of fieldwork and the challenges of balancing work and social life. Despite her background in visual arts, Coralie successfully completed her studies at EPFL, encouraging others with similar backgrounds to pursue scientific studies without stress.
