ABOUT ME I am currently a first-year at Duke University. I'm enrolled in the Pratt School of Engineering and plan to major in Biomedical Engineering (no, not pre-med). One of my goals at Duke is to meet as many people as possible. I'm currently keeping track of the nationality or background of people I meet on a map. Coming from Miami, I had a headstart, but I've already added a dozen new countries after arriving at Duke. I hope that I can fill my map by the end of my undergraduate career :).

GRAND CHALLENGES FOR ENGINEERING I found this article about the challenge for "Reverse-Engineer the Brain" on the Pundit page of "Grand Challenges for Engineering." As said before, I plan to major in BME, so I found the title quite intriguing. [1], Sherry Seethaler, UCSD News, 2 June 2004, accessed 7 September 2022 (Reverse-Engineer the Brain). In fact, I wrote a research paper for a class in my junior year of high school about human-animal chimerism, which involved artificial organs engineered from the tissues of other animals. Although some of the research can be considered unethical, I do not believe it outweighs the advantages presented to medicine (TO SOME EXTENT. Please do not think I want to kill everything. I swear I just want to see improvements in the field of health).
