Additional Information

I have been learning a bit about neuroscience, I am by nature curious about how the human brain develops as well as different thinking patterns and personalities. I am currently reading a book titled The Strange order of things by the Portuguese neuroscientist Antonio Damasio. I am also teaching myself how to play the ukulele. I have a passion for reading and learning new things, exploring the world around me, and making time to connect with my close friends, quite a few of whom are living in different countries around the world.
