This is a must-read, a very interesting article about a very terrible disease. Dr. Kaplan is a professor at UPenn where I'm a Bioengineering major. He gave a lecture to one of my classes about FOP and it was so inspiring to see how much progress he has made on a disease with only a handful of cases that was supposed to be impossible to cure. Imagine trying to cure a muscular disease where you can't even biopsy the muscle of your patients! Dr. Kaplan is an amazing man I hope he kills FOP in his lifetime.

I think it's a perfect look at how building on other people's science is how we really get things done. What if he'd overlooked that paper that unlocked everything for him?
