Hi, I’m Kale Hyder.
I’m a senior studying neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University. Outside of class, I conduct neuroscience research, write on Quora, and work at the university’s Center for Social Concern and Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
In June 2015, I had a spinal stroke, which changed my life trajectory. As a high school sophomore, I was forced to mature quickly in order to balance my health, academics, and relationships. Through countless hours of therapy, I became fascinated with neuroscience, specifically the field of neurorehabilitation. As a future neuroscientist, I am interested in developing therapies that promote return of function or negate neurodegeneration.
I spend my time thinking about neuroscience, crypto, increasing access for disabled individuals, and how much coffee is too much coffee.
