Hi! My name is Arunima and I am a sophomore from Baker. I am majoring in neuroscience and minoring in creative writing.

When I'm not overthinking the layout of this website, I love to read, write three iterations of the same bio, and play board games. 

My name is Nikhil Mummaneni and I am a junior at McMurtry studying cognitive science and Spanish. I am excited to be a part of presenting the real-world impact of passion for neuroscience.
