Bio
[as of May 2013] I'm 14 years old, live in Guatemala. Was accepted to med school and trying to decide whether to start the second semester of med school in June or spend a couple of months in Silicon Valley working on projects related to neuroscience and aging. At this point, I dropped out of school, I am alumni of Acton Academy Guatemala, and have spent the past few months doing research about ALS and other brain disorders and age-related diseases.
I'm passionate about
I am passionate about science (specially neuroscience), reading, mathematics and education. I want to cure brain disorders and age-related diseases.
