Frida Kahlo: “Enamórate de ti, de la vida y luego de quien tú quieras”

Introduction by Lancer Kind, host of SciFi Thoughts:

"Fasten your seatbelts because we're about to blast off with Morris Vanegas, a man who's as comfortable designing spacesuits as he is decoding the human brain. This MIT-educated aerospace engineer turned neuroscientist is living proof that the sky is not the limit. From SpaceX to stroke recovery research, Morris has left his mark on both outer space and inner space, picking up a patent and a spot on the Latino 30 under 30 list along the way.

But wait, there's more! When he's not revolutionizing brain imaging or teaching the next generation how to make (almost) anything, you might find Morris co-founding retreats, transforming organizations, or simply sipping coffee in the mountains of San Bernardino. He's a leader who speaks the language of both hemispheres – literally and figuratively – bridging the gap between hard science and human potential. So, whether you're looking to launch a rocket, rewire your brain, or just figure out how to make that impossible thing, Morris Vanegas is your go-to guy!"


What do you do?!

    Answer: My best!

    My life has meandered. That's a compliment to myself! My interests, like a well-lived life, have varied (and that's ok!). I've lived many lives in different industries, locations, and states of being. However, that's not a very helpful answer, now is it, Reader? Rather, I use the term "spaces" to help set boxes / boundaries / buckets around my experiences (after all, isn't it human to do so?).

    Use the SPACES tab to navigate professional accomplishments. Use the SUBSPACE tab to browse more artistic endeavors. Or simply contact me so we can grab tea, coffee, and/or a pastry at your favorite coffee shop =).
