Introducing Myself II

Hello followers!! 

Here, it is my introduction, about the second author of the blog, Gabriel Bretz, ME!

Thank God It's Friday 

So, I am also from Brazil and currently doing an exchange program at Loyola University New Orleans. I am so happy to have this opportunity, especially because I am in an awesome city. I love New Orleans.

My major is Biomedicine, which combines the fields of biology and medicine. So, it is a little different from Grazi that study animals, plants and ecology and I study only the human body, diseases and clinical analysis. With that, we intent to write about most of the topics that biological sciences cover.

My goal for this blog is to share important scientific moments that I have experienced, but also to bring some cool science information for y’all.

I hope y’all enjoy the content, start to follow the blog and come back here frequently.

Take it easy.
