The new ND STEM Studio is a one-of-a-kind space that combines a fully functioning laboratory with a video production studio. Home to Dr. Kate Biberdorf—popularly known as Kate the Chemist—the studio is designed to spark creativity, discovery, and communication.
In this innovative space, scientists can not only conduct experiment demos, but can also share their work in engaging, accessible ways. The studio serves as a hub for researchers and students to practice science communication, equipping them with the tools to explain complex ideas to the public and inspire the next generation of problem solvers.
Whether it’s filming dynamic demonstrations, experimenting with new outreach ideas, or training students to connect their research with broader audiences, the ND STEM Studio is where Notre Dame science comes alive.
