Hello! I am Mr.Epithelium, and as you may be able to tell already I am a huge fan of anatomy! I also enjoy doing other bio events including Protein Modeling, Designer Genes, and Cell Biology. I love learning about new topics and certainly the competition experience.
Currently, I am an freshman at MIT. Here, I am part of the Planning Committee for MIT Science Olympiad dealing with Competitor Logistics and Events.
I competed for Meyzeek Middle School from 2017-2019. Then, I competed for duPont Manual High School from 2020-2023. In the 2022 and 2023 seasons, I was also an Officer for my team.

Test Errata
Some of my tests do have mistakes! I try to proofread and check all portions of a test, but unfortunately, some do get past.
2020 SSSS Anatomy and Physiology
- 37- The answer should be D, osteoblasts.
2019 SSSS Heredity
- 37- Throw out this question, the key and test are incorrect. Adjusted point value: 74 points +1 bonus (thanks to reninkidney for pointing this out)
Notes
2017
- I had no idea what I was doing but I knew one thing as I went into my first Science Olympiad practice: I wanted to do Anatomy 😎
- I did end up getting Anatomy but I had no idea how to study for it. I used the SOINC handouts
2018
2019
- The yearly tradition of checking the Anatomy SOINC page every day after rules were released for new handouts and Powerpoints continued.
- As soon as they were posed, I
2020
- It was an honor taking a Sophia Velasco test at UC Invitational (haha)
- It's a shame that this season was cut short. I still remember gearing up for a strong Regionals performance only to hear practice that week- and later Regionals- was cancelled over Remind
- Much of my time after was spend scouring the Forums, State Scioly pages, and the JHU Covid Cases tracker website for updates. One by one tournaments were cancelled :(
- Huge shoutout to Popcorn3 for starting our Disease-of-the-Day grind
- Also got a lot into test-trading over the pandemic
2021
- Despite not providing the full competition experience, online tournaments this season massively expanded my team to other teams across the nation, a welcome change from previous seasons where our only worry would be Ohio or Kentucky teams before Nationals.
2022
- The in-person tournaments are back (kinda)! I still remember competing at Bardstown-Brown, where I was reminded how much I missed in-person tournaments.
- Solon was the highlight of the season, with a full in-person (albeit awards) experience woo!
2023
- Wow. I'm gonna miss competing for Scioly a LOT.
- Looking forward to write for tournaments in the future!
