Louis Gonzáles comes from Professor Andrew Mugler's theoretical biophysics research group at the University of Pittsburgh. His fascinating research is seeking to find answers for how cancer cells invade and affect the human body - cancer cell chemotaxis.

From initially hating physics, to astrophysics and then biophysics, with detours, obstacles and challenges along the way, Louis' remarkable, inspirational and heart-warming story is one that every student should hear.

What's it like doing research and how can you stay motivated? Where does Louis find his inspiration? How important can creative arts be in doing science?

Listen to what Louis has to say, and share with anyone who could use his advice.
