Lidia is an aspiring physician-author with a background in physiology and cognitive neuroscience. She completed her MSc in Cognitive Science at the University of Barcelona in Spain. She’s particularly interested in the interactions between the gut, hormones, brain, and behavior and how quality of life is affected when this axis goes awry. When she’s not studying or working as a scribe in the emergency room, she’s writing quirky blog posts on philosophy, performing improv comedy, baking a carrot cake, writing poems, or pestering her friends and family by geeking out about the human body’s beautiful design.
