Kevin Dell'Aquila

Picture
Kevin is currently a Pre-Med majoring in neuroscience at NYU. Throughout the week he is busy volunteering at a hospital in Brooklyn, teaching underprivileged Pre-K kids to read, messing with the Trichomonas Vaginalis bacterium in the Genomics Center, and can be found after a long day of Pre-Med hoopla lifting weights at NYU’s Coles Sports Center. And after hours of studying numb him to the seduction of science, he likes to regain optimism by searching for, reading about, and sharing the more interesting stories in science.
