Ben Rein a 5th-year neuroscience Ph.D. student at SUNY Buffalo, studying the genetic and neurobiological basis of autism spectrum disorder. In addition to his passion for research, he finds great satisfaction in teaching and helping others, particularly those struggling with the same challenges that he has faced. For that reason, he created ASC, the Aspiring Scientists Coalition, a free-to-join organization designed to provide guidance to students pursuing careers in the sciences!
