If you’ve been following Lucie and the Nerd Girl News journey, you know we’re all about breaking barriers, smashing stereotypes, and making science look as cool as it actually is. Lucie took “breaking barriers” to a literal (and much louder) level.
We are beyond thrilled to share that Lucie was invited to The Kelly Clarkson Show to serve as the official Audience Breaker!
For those who haven’t seen the segment, the Audience Breaker is that high-energy spark plug who kicks off the show, gets the crowd roaring, and sets the tone for Kelly’s infectious energy. It’s a role reserved for people with big personalities and even bigger stories—and Lucie definitely fits the bill.
Lucie didn’t just bring the hype; she brought the mission of Nerd Girl News to the national stage. Between the cheers and the music, Lucie had the chance to represent the “Nerd Girl” community, proving that you can be obsessed with STEM and still command the stage.
At its heart, Nerd Girl News is about visibility. When Lucie steps onto a platform like The Kelly Clarkson Show, she isn’t just there as a fan; she’s there as a representative for every girl who has ever felt like she had to choose between being “the smart one” and “the fun one.”
“Being on that stage was a whirlwind. It’s one thing to talk to a camera in a lab, but it’s another thing entirely to feel the energy of a live audience. If I can show even one girl watching at home that you can be a scientist and be bold, loud, and confident, then it was a successful day.” — Lucie
This is just the beginning of a massive year for Nerd Girl News. We have more experiments, more interviews with incredible women in STEM, and—clearly—more surprises on the horizon.
