It’s tiny Héctor!
I’ve always loved computers. One of my favorite things to do on them was to record voice memos of myself acting like a news anchor and then slow them down or make them faster to distort my voice. I was also a fan of Space Cadet Full Tilt! Pinball, Neopets, and this one obscure snowboarding game called SkiFree (that Yeti jump scare haunts me to this day). Even now, I still am quite a video game enthusiast. You can check out some of my favorites in my archive.
I was raised in Ponce, Puerto Rico. From there, I did my B.S. in Chemistry at la Universidad de Puerto Rico en Cayey, where I got heavily involved in scientific research. This led me to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley.
Currently, I am Managing Editor for the Berkeley Science Review and a Senior Editor for SciCommBites, as well as an author and editor for the MCB Transcript at UC Berkeley.
My motivation in life is to bring the joy and excitement of scientific discovery to others by sharing my genuine fascination with the world and how it works.
