Meet The Contestants!

My name is Laura and I'm currently a sophomore majoring in chemistry. I'm looking to study food chemistry in grad school and work for the FDA or NSF. I'm an assistant in a microbio lab, cleaning and keeping things in order. In my free time I like to cook, knit, and watch Food Network (Alton Brown is king!). For $50,000 I would tight rope walk over a pool of 12M HCl.

My name is Emmanuel M. Quaye, and I'm a sophomore pursuing a career in medicine. As a B.S. in Neuroscience and pre-medicine, I would do many things for $50,000. I would eat pig brains, scorpion legs, swim with sharks, and lie in a pool of dead mice. I would do practically anything for $50,000. You name it and I will do it. Contact me at equaye@umich.edu and have your challenge and $50,000 ready.








My name is Leo Brayman and I am pursuing a major in Neuroscience and a minor in Music. I aspire to contribute to knowledge of the brain through research. For $50,000 I will take on whatever Fear Factor can legally throw at me, whether that's eating something exotic, or performing a crazy stunt. Bring it on! leobraym@umich.edu
