ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Hector is studying at Texas State University in pursuit of dual degrees in Biology and Philosophy with focus on Fungi, Metaphysics, Politics, and Love. He firmly believes that not only is observation primary to understanding, but also that community-centered communication of observations is critically tied to progression of ideas, and hopes to spark this curiosity in others to be integrated in our lives and understand the relationship life itself has to the abstractions of reality.
