Love this video, it is amazing. If you have 20 minutes I would highly recommend watching it. The video discusses a wide range of human emotions such as fear and shame in the context of vulnerability. The speaker is amazing and the talking points are amazing. 

I am so thankful for breakthroughs in science and technology. Everyday things that before we could only dream of come into real life, into things we can physically grasp with our hands.

As someone who has had loved one’s lives be touched by cancer, I think this is honestly a miracle. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and one of my childhood best friends lost his battle with brain cancer my freshman year. This new break though in cancer treatment is truly fascinating. Treating patients with epigenetics instead of chemotherapy is beneficial because unlike chemo it doesn’t kill the cells.

I feel truly blessed and thankful to live in an age when thanks to technology we could see the end of cancer or at least, great strides in ending this vicious disease. For that I am thankful.
