Very different outcomes.
This is what scientific progress looks like—years of research quietly turning survival into life 👏

Two minutes.
That’s how long Briar’s heart stopped during a seizure at age two. She survived because genetic research revealed a hidden link between epilepsy and heart rhythm disorders, leading to a life-saving pacemaker.

The Science That Saved Briar’s Life | Newswise
Two minutes. That’s how long two-year-old Briar Curtis’s heart stopped during a severe seizure in April 2025. Thanks to genetic research linking epilepsy and heart problems, Briar had a heart monitor that let doctors detect the problem and implant a potentially life-saving pacemaker.

The Senate voted to protect federal science funding after proposed cuts would have gutted it.
That means continued support for research, education, weather science, and space missions—and for the people doing that work every day: https://ow.ly/1JVP50Y0NYo

Kuro was born so early that survival would’ve been impossible a generation ago. Neonatal science is the difference between life and loss.

Stanford researchers cured autoimmune diabetes in mice by retraining the immune system.
Blood stem cells + donor islet cells.
It’s early. But it’s real work: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2025/11/type-1-diabetes-cure.html
Science moves the needle 👏

• Vaccines
• Insulin
• Cancer therapies
• Myopia correction
• Stroke retrieval devices
• Humanity still being here to argue about them

What does “science saves lives” look like?
BU’s cancer series follows survivors, doctors, and researchers who are building earlier detection tools, extending treatment, and lifting patients who are living their diagnosis.
It’s research with a pulse: https://ow.ly/PuFn50XypPG

Science isn’t perfect, but it’s the reason we get to argue about perfection online instead of dying at 35. ScienceSaves wants to create a day to thank researchers. A day to remember what happens when we stop listening to evidence.
