The Eckerd Difference

<strong>Shannon Bean</strong>---Apollo Beach, FL---Neuroscience

"I have a passion for Neuroscience, water, travel, mixed media, and being barefoot. The first day I introduced myself to Dr. Gerdeman (Neuroscientist), we ended up talking for over an hour about inhibitory feedback loops, current research, and research opportunities." - Shannon Bean, Neuroscience concentration
