Hello! I’m Hal Weisman 20 years old and use they/them pronouns, a passionate researcher with a diverse background in cognitive neuroscience, hydroponics, and the study of endogenous cannabinoids. My educational journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of these fascinating fields, and I’m driven by a curiosity to explore their intersections. Whether delving into the neural mechanisms of Down syndrome through FMRI scans, investigating the potential of hydroponics versus aquaponics for hemp cultivation, unraveling the role of endogenous cannabinoids and opium in the pain circuit, or leading initiatives in mental health labs to address student mental health, I’m committed to advancing knowledge and making meaningful contributions to science. Outside of my research pursuits, I enjoy skating and gardening. Feel free to reach out and connect—I’m always eager to collaborate and exchange ideas! my email is hweisman@arizona.edu
