about me

me (Héctor), standing next to one of CalCryo@QB3's electron microscopes

Puertorican born in Texas.

Raised in La Perla del Sur.

I completed my B.S. in Natural Sciences with a concentration in Chemistry at the University of Puerto Rico at Cayey. As of right now, I am on my way to finalizing my Ph.D. in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley.

On the side, I work as a Project Manager for SciCommBites, a blog dedicated to making science communication research more accesible.

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.
