My name is Paula but I’m called Bella at the lab. My friends say it’s because of my surname (Villa is quite similar to Bella) but I prefer to think it’s all from my beauty... Biosciences apart, one of the things I like most is painting, wherever I can and everything I’m able to. I could say my favorite color is any one that I can find in my palette. Above all, felines are my favorite animals; I have always lived around cats. I gave up watching terror films since I realized that I can’t spend more than 5 minutes looking at the screen. iGEM has been an incredible experience and an unforgettable one!
