Our Story
Helping Neuro-enthusiasts Find Their Voice
GreyMatters was created by us in order to help other students or individuals interested in neuroscience and neuro-related topics find a place to share their interests, and highlight these stories to create an inclusive community. We as undergraduate students on the pre-health track, understand the importance as well as the stress and worries that many pre-health academic checklists can often place on students. Therefore, we hope that our site can be a place where you can share your own written work so we can further uplift your voice, as well as be a place where you can seek advice and guidance as needed. We also hope to be a friendly corner that you regularly come back to ☺︎

Jasmin Lashae Delaney
Hi, I’m Jasmin Lashae, a Neuroscience major in the Class of 2028 at the University of San Francisco, with a minor in Chemistry. I’ve always been drawn to understanding how the brain works, especially when it comes to development. My passion for neuroscience is closely tied to my love for helping others, especially children. I’m currently working toward becoming a pediatric neurologist, where I hope to support children and their families through neurological challenges. This blog is a space where I share what I’m learning, break down topics in neuroscience, and explore how science connects to real lives. My goal is to make neuroscience more approachable and meaningful.
Adriana Q. Benavides
Hello, my name is Adriana Benavides and I am a Neuroscience major a part of the Class of 2028 at the University of San Francisco, with a minor in Chemistry. I plan to pursue an MD/PhD in the future as I have a strong interest in working with patients, but also in understanding how vital research can contribute strongly to the future of medicine and patient care. I have a particular interest in neurology and psychiatry as I am heavily interested in topics such as childhood trauma, addiction, mental disorders, and the impact of ACEs on the human body. As a first-generation and low-income student, I understand how hard it can be to find the right resources, especially as a student on the pre-health track. Therefore, my goal is to help others have the space to share their amazing research to further foster and build a community that can last a lifetime.
Tina Nguyen
Hello, my name is Tina Nguyen and I am a Neuroscience major part of the Class of 2028 at USFCA. I’ve been deeply inspired by love of being educated and educating others on the numerous topics that involve the neurological framework of the eye and overall visual system. Vision is the most dominant human sense, and as an undergraduate student, blog author, or even a typical being, I hope to contribute to the momentum of vision sciences. The advocacy that drives such field does not solely depend on only sciences but also on health and patient care. My long term goal is to become a Neuro-Ophthalmologist, to help focus on eye-health that deeply involve the Optic Nerve and Occipital lobe. As a future physician scientist, I aspire to work in a lab and clinic, offering the many opportunities I’ve sought after, to the next generations of curious and like-minded students. I look foward to the many conversations we will have and the contributions from everyone.
