Mia Stephen – Second Year Grad Student in Biological Sciences at Notre Dame and Co-organizer of the South Bend, IN Science Cafe

Mia, Mike’s sister, knows a thing or two about science.  She’s helped to organize a Science Cafe- an informal get-together that teaches us how science applies to our daily lives.  She gives us the lowdown and where we can go in Chicago for our own Science Cafe.
