NSCSAS
- Meet the team -
Dorothy Tung "Hi NSCSAS! My name is Dorothy, and I am a senior on the neuroscience track with an emphasis in cognition. I am also minoring in biochemistry and music performance. If I’m not in class, you can find me pipetting in the McKay Lab, an ophthalmology lab that investigates age-related macular degeneration. Outside of academics, I love bowling, hiking, trying out new restaurants, and watching basketball (Go Suns!). If you have any questions, concerns, or need someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! Looking forward to meeting you all!"
Cam Bolles
"Hey everyone! I’m Cam and I’m a junior on the neuroscience track with an emphasis in neurobiology. I minor in Biochemistry, Emergency Medical Services, and Spanish. I’m an undergraduate research assistant in the Gothard Lab and primarily assist in the “Social Status & Facial Expression” project. I love collecting music posters, competing in three fantasy football leagues, and playing chess. If there’s one thing you remember from my bio, buy pepper gel for your protection. See you all soon!"
Surya Fitzgerald
“Hi everyone! My name is Surya and I’m a junior on the neuroscience track with an emphasis in language and communication science. I’m also majoring in Spanish. I am a part of the NET (neuroscience of emotion and thought) Lab and am currently working on a creativity study. I love to paint, play piano, hike, and cook (but have a very limited repertoire). I’m excited to meet and talk with you all!"

I work in the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences with Dorothy and Dr. Brian S. McKay where we study mechanisms of age-related macular degeneration. I really enjoy volunteering at my church, photography, playing/watching basketball and going to the gym - if you see me at the rec say hi!! I can’t wait to meet all of you and to make this a memorable year!"
