                             <h2>Chun Mun Loke</h2>
−
                             <p>Chun Mun Loke (né Descan Aï Rembassa Adéwola Köloe !Xobile) was born in the village of Tokkna in Kenya. Born with jaundice, he has struggled to gain acceptance of his African heritage since birth. At age 3, his parents won the national lottery, earning enough money for a boat to leave Africa. Their intended destination was America, but the monsoon winds blew them off course and they arrived in Singapore. While in Singapore, Loke gained publicity for his performance on the WISC, being the youngest person to score 5 standard deviations over the general mean. He also gained publicity for his skills as an actor, starring as lead roles in the Singaporean feature films Xiao Hai Bu Ben. He decided not to pursue a career in acting, however, declining offers from noteworthy Western producers, due to the lack of opportunity for Asian American actors to succeed in the Hollywood industry. At age 7, he moved to Australia. Nothing interesting happened there, so we'll skip over that part. At age 9, he moved to America. Loke dedicated a majority of his free time (over 15 minutes a day) to honing his piano skills. He won the International Tchaikovsky Competition for his performance of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 20. Two years later, he performed the famous P.D.Q. Bach Concerto for Two Pianos vs Orchestra with Lang Lang and the Berlin Philharmonic. Loke has won the Nobel Prize in physics twice, once for experimental procedures disproving the breakdown of classical mechanics at the quantum level and reaffirming Einstein's determininstic description of the Universe, and another time for his discovery of the existance of Bose-Einstein condensate particles exhibiting monopole like qualities. That same year, he also received the Nobel Prize in medicine for his methods of indefinite telomere expansion supplemented by p53 upregulation, achieving long term totipotency. Unbeknownst to society, Loke has invented a time machine and has been preserving the stability of the world in our timeline. He seeded the Earth during the Cambrian Explosion, implanted a tall, black monolith in prehistoric Africa, taught Fibonacci mathematics, presented blueprints for the printing press to Gutenberg, prevented the advancement of the Cold War into a full nuclear war, developed kill codes to terminate existing LOICs, and forewarned the TLC of First Contact. In order to live a more humble life as Siddhartha Gautama did, Loke sold all his assets and donated all his money to the charities. He now lives in a cardboard box behind the North Campus Diner in the University of Maryland. To supplement his efforts, he teaches introductory chemistry and biology classes. Recently, he has picked up weightlifting. His newest goal is to be able to bench a crate of 420 Kaplan MCAT study guide books.</p>
+
                             <p>Chun Mun Loke likes science. He likes science so much, he joined the iGEM team and is now leading it. At the University of Maryland, his studies many science subjects. For a career, he'd like to go into a field of science, likely biomedical research, and assist in the rapidly advancing field to save lives, so people can do more science. In his spare time, he watches Netflix shows about science, like House MD.</p>

Before going to UMD, Chris lived in Massachusetts near Kendall Square and had the privilege to start an iGEM team at his own high school.
