Why would people living in a region afflicted with an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus burn down clinics and attack healthcare workers who are trying to contain the disease?
Wisdom Versus Ebola
Hope in the fight against antibiotic resistance
In the early 2000s, I worked with a company trying to develop a novel way to treat antibiotic-resistant infections using viruses that attacked the harmful bacteria. I learned that scientists had been struggling to make such a treatment viable since the 1920s. It looks like we've begun figuring out how to crack that nut! This is good news in our fight against antibiotic resistance.
Medicine, Meet Science Fiction
I remember pundits of gene therapy touting its potential back when I was in grad school in the 1990s. Twenty-years of set-backs and hard work later, it seems that potential is now being realized.
Humans are alright
A high school robotics team built an electric wheelchair for a two-year old, saving the family tens-of-thousands of dollars and opening up a world of exploration for a child. Humans are alright.
Imagine having such an impact
Holy crap. Imagine being instrumental in the eradication of not one, but two global diseases. Humans are amazing when we put our minds to it. https://www.facebook.com/bradanderson2000/posts/2289871197719148
