I think that neuroscience and astrophysics are alter egos! Aren't there billions of firing stars being studied in both? Unfathomable Universe...Brainverse!

I enjoy doing research in cognitive sciences, biological psychology, neuropharmacology and every subject related to our Brainverse. I currently work as a graduate research and teaching assistant at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
