Majors?

Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology, Biochemistry

If you could be doing whatever your heart desired, what would it be?

I'm not much of a romantic, I guess. I'm content to be wherever I am, so long as there's good food, interesting things to do, and good people to be around.

In that order, probably.

What got you interested in your program/major?

There are a lot of things that interest me. I love books, and the arts generally, and I've consumed a great deal of history in pursuit of answering whether we as society are really getting anywhere (side note: if we are, it's nowhere fast).

But while humanities are fun, well.. learning how a set of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms come together to produce complex new structures which get taken apart and put together by other massive structures of the same, all by doing nothing but taking advantage of laws of the universe.. it lights a different kind of fire.

 A random fact about yourself?

I own a lot of nice socks.

If you could be doing whatever your heart desired, what would it be?

I would be riding my bike, skiing, or snuggling with my dog...

But on a more serious note, I would love to break stigma regarding mental health. My goal is to develop better drugs for depression, anxiety disorder, etc. I could also see myself working for a suicide prevention/mental health awareness nonprofit.

What got you interested in your program/major?

The complexity of the brain is SO COOL. There are endless avenues for exploration and discovery.

A random fact about yourself?

I can eat more than you...

Majors?

Chemical & Biological Engineering

If you could be doing whatever your heart desired, what would it be?

I would want to be an MMA fighter

What got you interested in your program/major?

I got interested in chemical and biological engineering because I thought I wanted to be a doctor, but then realized that I was more interested in making the medicine than prescribing the medicine. I wanted to become a pharmaceutical engineer because the world needs cures for countless diseases and I want to be a part of that.

A random fact about yourself?

If you could be doing whatever your heart desired, what would it be?

Honestly, I'd probably still be tinkering away in the lab.

Maybe a little bit of gardening and back country camping to keep myself sane...

What got you interested in your program/major?

I had always been fascinated by complex systems and their behavior. This interest was accentuated by the interaction networks observed in cellular biology. Thinking about the potential applications of modern biotechnology is absolutely exhilarating!

If I could be doing anything at this moment I would want to be on top of a mountain, enjoying the view, and eating a peanut butter sandwich.

What got you interested in your program/major?

I became interested in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology because I thought cell models/drawings looked pretty and interesting.

A random fact about yourself?

I have played piano for 15 years.
