Moura Saad

I was born and raised in Byblos, Lebanon. At 15, I attended United World College China where I was introduced to both an international community and the scientific method for the first time. Inspired by these experiences, I pursued my undergraduate degree in neuroscience and anthropology at Macalester College to study the human mind at the levels of biology and culture. I hope to pursue a research career studying the neural and behavioral mechanisms of social learning across diverse populations, especially in contexts where social rules are implicit or uncertain. I also envisage developing ways to support social participation and belonging. What brings me joy is spending time with friends and family and playing board games. My favorite things to do alone are composing music or playing video games. My favorite thing to do with friends is spontaneous bus adventures. I am very passionate about music theory.
