Planet's Evaporating Atmosphere Tied To Eruption Of Exoplanet HD 189733b's Parent Star

Here's one... The universe is vast, and amazing like our own world. And while we've learned much from studying both, we've only scratched the surface. The more we learn, the more apparent how much more there is we don't understand yet. In other words, the more we know... the less we know. No one has a lock on truth. Not scientists, not religious, nor any other field of study. It behooves all of us to have an open mind. To be willing to learn, because every year something we thought true becomes understood differently. Everyone can look into the expanse of space, and the depths of the oceans, and feel awe. It's so silly to close our minds and and feign superiority over someone else. Both are destructive and self-limiting. And completely against the processes by which we learn.

Protecting Mothers and Children From HIV: A Call to Action

Other diseases as well. We've been promised for half a century and more that we're on the "verge of a cure" for (insert disease here). But since profits rule the industry there are no cures. Why save and improve a person's life with one treatment when you can keep them going indefinitely for a few thousand a month! What the world needs are manageable prices, donated treatments and an open-minded reward system for cures, without regard to who developed them or what profits would be made or lost.
