Brian Yeung

If Brian Yeung was asked to recall one of his funniest and earliest Webb memories, he would undoubtedly think back to the time when he and Howard Chandler were eating McDonalds in front of the administration building late in the night when they saw a cardboard cutout of a gorilla. Moments later, it finally dawned on them that the “gorilla” they saw was actually a massive bear, and both Brian and Howard began to panic and freak out. Aside from this hilarious incident, people know Brian for many things: his badminton skills, his genuine friendships, and his body-building physique, something he is extremely passionate about cultivating. If there is one place you can count on seeing Brian, it is definitely the Webb gym on the weekends. When he is not working out, music is his go-to hobby, with one of his favorite artists being Joji. However, upon getting to know Brian, you will find that he is a heavily devoted scientific investigator who pushes himself to see the human value that science offers. This year, he had the pleasure of being taught by Mr. John Choi, Director of Equity, in his Medicinal Chemistry class, where he researched addiction and the brain’s complex chemistry. Inspired by this class, he plans to major in Neuroscience when he goes to Pitzer College this coming fall. Although Brian will certainly not miss the wildlife of Webb, he will deeply miss the sense of community and his friendships as he wraps up his final year.
