Any true McDonald’s connoisseur knows that the options at the Golden Arches aren’t just limited to what the chain advertises.

And thanks to a key McDonald’s insider, customers now have yet another option to add to the Mickey D’s secret menu archive.

Education March 18, 2024 I studied Biomedical Science at Inter-American University of Puerto Rico and one of my first goals after graduating was to identify a way to contribute to my community through research.

The Semilla project is a collaboration between Mayo Clinic, the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico.
