Those of you that are fans of Shondaland may have been swept up in a fictional ‘Great Experiment’ the last few weeks, but here closer to home, there was another great experiment happening. A great science-comedy experiment.
Founder and science-comedian Luke Stellar began the STEAM Room after identifying that, like him, many STEM PhD students struggled to communicate their ideas in a way that was engaging for people outside of the scientific community. Comedians on the other hand, were able to break down really complicated ideas to make complete strangers laugh. A light bulb went off and the STEAM Room was born.
