Good news doesn’t go viral, but it still matters.

2025 delivered real, measurable progress, when science was allowed to work.

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 👏

A short list of things we’re grateful for:
• Vaccines
• Insulin
• Cancer therapies
• Myopia correction
• Stroke retrieval devices
• Humanity still being here to argue about them

Happy Thanksgiving 💚

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

We asked: how has science saved you?

These screenshots are a small sample of practical, everyday ways science has kept someone alive, functional, or simply here.

We only get to debate vaccines because they worked.

Now the CDC may overhaul the childhood schedule under pressure from people who’ve dedicated their careers to eroding trust: https://ow.ly/4CCJ50XpLQo

Kids are already getting measles again. Memory's short; consequences aren’t.

Polio is at 99% eradication. That last 1% is the hardest.

Progress isn’t permanent. We don’t protect children once. We have to protect them every 👏 generation 👏

David Potter’s story is a reminder that science doesn’t win by accident: https://www.redrocknews.com/2025/10/25/polio-survivor-david-potter-talks-to-rotarians/

Vaccines, global coordination, everyday people doing unglamorous work...that’s what keeps polio down.

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.
