Scientific discovery propelled Cesar Bautista Sotelo on journey from Texas to Massachusetts
PhD candidate credits UMass Medical School PREP program for helping guide his way By Kylee Denesha March 15, 2021
Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences PhD candidate Cesar Bautista Sotelo fondly recalls how much he enjoyed trips with his mother to his local library as a young child to check out the Magic School Bus series videotapes. That love of learning was fostered throughout his education.
“I was fortunate enough to have a great biology teacher in high school,” Bautista Sotelo said. “She made science fun and relatable. It helped me decide that science is the right way for me and I wanted to continue it in my higher education.”
