A Great Time to Be Here
Scientific progress becomes something we can witness.
Every generation inherits the achievements of those who came before it. Some generations are fortunate enough to witness a turning point.
We may be living through one of those moments.
There is a particular kind of optimism that comes not from imagining what technology might someday accomplish, but from recognizing what science is already making possible.
Medicine has always been a story of human ingenuity, persistence, and hope. What makes the present moment exceptional is the possibility that several important advances will unfold within a remarkably short period of time.
For those of us who have watched technology transform almost every aspect of everyday life, the prospect of seeing it contribute so directly to human well-being is especially meaningful.
And perhaps the most exciting thought is a simple one: we won't have to imagine all of these changes. We may be here to experience them.
