Brett Daiger
- Hendrix College
Brett is a senior graduating in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology and Spanish, heading on to continue his education in the BMB field after a gap year. He views science as more than just a collection of facts and strives to balance meta-cognition of the universe with the primality of simply experiencing it. Ultimately, he seeks to know without forfeiting the means to be. Running science clubs, helping organize science outreach programs, and joining national organizations like 91亚色传媒 has been an opportunity for Brett to share that worldview with others and emphasize the importance of connecting with what one does and wonders about.
