Bio: Hello! My name is Vern. I’m from Greenfield, a small town in Southern Ohio. I enjoy yoga, grabbing coffee with friends, recreational reading, and playing the guitar. I’m a research assistant in Dr. Golomb’s Vision and Cognitive Neuroscience Lab. I also volunteer at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House. My campus involvement includes: member of Sound of Science a Capella group, Chemistry 1210 peer mentor, Buckeyethon team captain for Humanism in Medicine, and last but certainly not least, Neuroscience Ambassador. I’m so excited that I have the opportunity to guide our students into discovering how incredible neuroscience is here at OSU!
