| My name is Sascha Bodak. My hobbies include reading, programming and playing chess. In the future would like to become a chemical engineer. I also enjoy camping and canoeing and spend the majority of my summers in Ontario's wilderness. My love of music, neurology and computer science inspired this science fair project. If I am able to continue with my study I would like to measure hormone levels in the blood streams of my participants in order to gain quantitative results. |
