Landing _index.md accessing yaml data

[alanlivio]

Hello. 👋

The landing page from a _index.md file works great.

I would like to load data for the _index.md from a Hugo data template. But it does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion or alternative? Many thanks.

data/bio.yml file:

experience1:
    title: Postdoc Researcher
    date_start: '2021-04-01'

_index.md file:

---
title: About
type: landing
sections:
  - block: about.biography
    id: about
    content:
      title: About me
      username: admin
  - block: experience
    id: experience
    content:
      title: {{ site.Data.bio.experience1.title }}
      date_start: {{ site.Data.bio.experience1.date_start}}
---
