Jamy Gourmaud was born in Fontenay-le-Comte on 17 January 1964 and graduated from the Institut Pratique de Journalisme in 1988. A year later he traveled Eastern Europe with a camera, shooting a documentary on Romanian maternity wards that won him the Young Reporter Festival d'Angers prize in 1989. After stints in print and radio, he joined France 3's "Fractales" in 1992, then launched C'est Pas Sorcier in September 1993 - a science magazine he wrote and presented with Frédéric Courant and Sabine Quindou until 2014. He designed and presented 26' d'arrêt in 1998, became a columnist on "Pourquoi ? Comment ?" in 2000, and co-hosted programs on memory, sleep, history, and experiments through the 2000s. Asteroid 23877 Gourmaud carries his name.
