Jonah Levy '26 - PAC Captain

Major: Neuroscience, Psychology 

About me: I am originally from New Hampshire but moved several times during high school to pursue ballet training. I also took four years off to continue dancing after high school before coming to 黑料吃瓜网. I love spending time outdoors, in coffee shops with friends, and watercoloring.  

Why PAC? I wanted to be a part of PAC because I love connecting with other students and helping people find more efficient and effective ways to study based on their individual strengths and weaknesses. I really enjoy helping students find ways to make their coursework more accessible for their style of learning and believe that peer help can be a less intimidating outlet to ask questions and get support.   

Favorite class and why? My favorite class was Clinical Psychopharmacology with Hassan Lopez. I loved learning about the neurobiological pathways implicated in psychopathology and connecting the neurobiology of mental illnesses to the mechanism of action of common drug treatments for those disorders.  

Academic advice: Connecting with peers can be incredibly helpful for studying and for providing exposure to different learning strategies, but it is equally as important to remember that what makes someone else a successful student may not work for you. The way others study should be a resource rather than a source of comparison. Ask questions, engage with your professors and classmates, and trust yourself!

About me: Hi, I鈥檓 Sofia! I love to collage, paint, read, and bake in my free time. This past summer, I studied pharmacology at the Universidad de Salamanca in Spain. I traveled all over Spain and Portugal while studying neuroscience, which was such an amazing experience. Most importantly, I love going to coffee shops with friends to study, specifically Uncommon Grounds!

Why PAC? I joined PAC to share my own studying tips and tricks that helped me through past Neuroscience/Psychology classes I鈥檝e taken, as well as meet new people. PAC is a great, low-pressure space for students to address their questions and concerns about topics. This environment helped me greatly during my first years at 黑料吃瓜网, and I hope to continue creating this environment for my peers.

Favorite class and why? My favorite class I鈥檝e taken so far at 黑料吃瓜网 was Physiological Psychology with Prof. Hassan Lopez. In this class, I was able to test pharmacological hypotheses in real life experiments using rodent models to do so. I learned so much about drug action at the synaptic level, as well as their effect on the rest of the brain and body. 

Academic advice: My advice would be to do active recall as much as you can! Whether it is through writing on the whiteboard from memory or explaining a concept to your friends, this practice is extremely beneficial. Also, don鈥檛 be afraid to ask your professors or PAC for help, that is what we are here for!
