From the Canal to Chemistry
Juan Castillo shares his journey as a researcher
Juan Castillo’s educational journey came with its fair share of ups and downs. He shares his story in the new “Become A Researcher” video series.
He grew up in the Canal neighborhood in Northern California, where opportunities for a scientific education were few and higher education was not part of his plans for the future. After graduating from high school, Castillo went straight to work in construction and landscaping. However, his late mother’s dream for him to go to college inspired him to enroll in community college, and later was his motivation to keep going despite whatever obstacles he faced.
