An exceptional 8-year-old girl named Amoy Antunet has become a neuroscientist through practical science experiments she does on her own in her bedroom. She also has an online school to teach millions of people science across the world.
Amoy Antunet is a young scientist from Atlanta Georgia. She developed an interest in science at a very young age after coming across a microscope owned by her father, who was then a college student. She then got hooked on the microscope and soon she started to use it with her father.
According to Amoy’s father, Davin Shepherd, he started explaining everything he was studying during his biology classes and reading his textbooks to her after he noticed Amoy’s interest, and to his greatest surprise, she grabbed quickly for someone of her age.
Later on, Antunet created her own personal lab in her bedroom with a collection of test tubes, replica organs, microscopes, and chemicals she built for herself. Seeing this, her father then decided it was time they showed the world what Antunet was capable of at her very young age.
“At first I thought it was cute but then I started seeing how she really grasped some of it. It’s one of the things she does for playtime now, she will put on a lab coat and run to the lab and do all the stuff she wants,’’ he said.
When Antunet was five, she together with her father took to the internet to share their experiences and give general lessons from their mini laboratory. They performed experiments, explained basic science concepts and mind-boggling topics including cell division, the heart, and how the brain works to their audience wearing white lab coat.
