Leadership Team
Bisola Akintunde
Hi! my name is Bisola, and I am the Founder of FGEN (Future Generation), an initiative dedicated to making neuroscience engaging and accessible for children and youth. I'm a first-year Life Sciences (Neuroscience pathway) student at the University of Toronto. My passion for neuroscience inspired me to self-publish Your Brain Is Way More Amazing Than You Actually Think, which was reviewed by University of Alberta neurology professors. Through FGEN, I hope to inspire the next generation to discover the incredible potential of the brain and foster a lifelong curiosity for science and mental well-being. Outside of FGEN, I enjoy singing, songwriting, and playing instruments!
Mayher Grewal
Hello! My name is Mayher Grewal and I am a student at the University of Alberta studying Neuroscience. I was inspired to join FGEN due to the meaningful impact awareness about the brain can have on young learners. The brain is a fundamental part of the body, shaping how we think and interact with the world around us. I hope to spark curiosity by showcasing how fascinating the brain can be. I look forward to increasing accessibility to this information and helping students discover their passion for neuroscience. I am eager to explore neuroscience further and apply it to the healthcare space. In my personal time, I enjoy baking and going on nature walks!
Megan Kwok
Hey everyone! My name is Megan and I'm SUPER thrilled to be serving as an Edmonton zone lead for FGEN!!! Next year, I will be at the University of Alberta majoring in Neuroscience! My reason for joining the FGEN team is primarily because of my undying love for my very dear friend Bisola but also because I’m a strong advocate for educating the youth that will lead our future generations.
