Yvonne Bowman
Yvonne is an undergrad planning to major in neuroscience at NYU. Her inspiration is Dr. Oliver Sacks, whose books made her want to help spread the word about science in any form. As one who has been more or less obsessed with science for many, many years, she's always ready to do anything that has to do with it. When not busy with classes or Doppler Effect, she can usually be found reading a webcomic, playing video games, or playing oboe.
