In August 2025, a group of Notre Dame students and faculty joined representatives from other U.S. Catholic universities in Japan as part of a "Pilgrimage of Peace" to mark the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. - 0:31Fighting for faster virus detection
Bird flu doesn’t just affect birds—it disrupts farms, strains food systems, and raises costs for consumers. A new “electronic nose” detects airborne signs of disease in real time, giving farmers the ability to slow the spread and prevent outbreaks.Easy to use and designed with farmers in mind, the sensor comes in two formats: a barn-mounted monitor for continuous scanning and a handheld version for smaller flocks. The result? Faster detection, fewer sick birds, safer food, and stronger farms.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/fighting-for-faster-virus-detection - 0:25Focused Postpartum Care aims to reduce maternal mortality rates
The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate of any developed nation. For many new mothers, the weeks and months after giving birth can be the most dangerous—and too often, lifesaving care ends too soon.When Notre Dame professor, nurse, and researcher Joyce Adams saw these risks firsthand, she developed a groundbreaking model of postpartum care. Tested in Ghana and now saving lives in the U.S., her Focused Postpartum Care (Focused-PPC) program offers women yearlong follow-up visits, education on warning signs, and peer-to-peer support.Learn more: https://go.nd.edu/fighting-for-maternal-health - 2:01Fighting for Maternal Health

When Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters trapped Elisabeth Anderson, her husband, their dogs, and her 7-week-old baby on the roof of their car, survival was the only thought. Two hours later, rescuers brought her and her child to safety.Months afterward, Elisabeth was surprised to see her rescue briefly featured in a Notre Dame commercial during the Notre Dame Football against Miami. The ad highlighted the work of Notre Dame Engineering professor David Richter, who is developing new ways to better predict hurricane strength.That glimpse inspired Elisabeth to share her own story—to put a face to the research and show why this work matters. It’s not just about forecasts, it’s about families.See how Notre Dame is Fighting to Improve Hurricane Forecasts: https://go.nd.edu/a3e931
