Elena Weissmann

About

Elena Weissmann is a sophomore at Brown University studying neuroscience and mathematics. She writes science & research articles for the Brown Daily Herald and tries out weird recipes for Spoon University, a national college food blog.
For her latest project, she ate a protein bar containing pulverized cricket. It was not tasty.

When she’s not frantically studying neural pathways or lazing around watching The Office, you can find her eating spoonfuls of peanut butter or playing intramural soccer for her team, The Ball Busters. Their record is 0 wins and 11 losses.
