A few months ago, my daughter Luna showed symptoms so extreme that, centuries ago, people might have believed she was possessed. If this were 500 years ago, an exorcist would have come to our home, convinced that driving out the devil was the only solution.
But today, we have science. And scientists.
Luna has PANS/PANDAS, a disease that can turn a child’s world upside down overnight. It’s terrifying. But thanks to modern medicine, she’s getting the treatment she needs. And she’s on the way to full recovery. Hopefully.
Science has made this possible.
It’s easy to take science for granted. But behind every breakthrough—every treatment that saves a life—are researchers, doctors, and innovators who dedicate their lives to making the impossible possible.
So today, let’s take a moment to appreciate what they do for us.
Thank a scientist.
P.S. Luna’s twin brother, Timo, made this jumping heart GIF for her.
