Christine Lee(she/her/hers)
Harvard '23, Quincy House Concentration: Neuroscience and Ethnicity, Migration, Rights Fun Facts about Me: Two hot takes - I'm forever team oatmeal raisin cookie and team dark chocolate! Hi, I'm Christine Lee and I'm the Editor-in-Chief for The Harvard Brain's spring issue! I'm a junior in Quincy House studying Neuroscience and Ethnicity, Migration, Rights, but more importantly consider myself a passionate K-drama consumer, New York Times Spelling Bee connoisseur, and Spotify playlist crafting aficionado. It's been such a pleasure getting to watch this publication grow and evolve over the past few years, offering a fantastic platform for undergraduates to come together over their mutual interests in the mind, brain, and behavior.
