It's such a tease seeing headlines like these as someone with a bone disease. I've started following grants for research on my illness 15 years ago, and every few years they reapply having discovered a tiny part of the process necessary to understand the disease and develop a therapy.
As a scientist I know things take time and hard, dedicated, work but as a patient it's soul-draining to see your life pass you by while waiting for these discoveries to materialize into cures or drugs.
