NIH’s pause on research grants as Trump enters office should worry all Americans

This is a potentially devastating event — not just for the scientific community, but for all Americans.

Eight years ago, a budding scientist – on the darkest day of the year – gave a commercial airline pilot a gift that would link the two for life.

United Airlines Capt. David Whitson had been facing a devastating diagnosis. Healthy blood could bring the husband and father back from the brink. But even his brother's didn't match closely enough.

Allie Reimold, who years earlier had opted into a donor registry, got the call: Would she help save a dying stranger?

She did.

Since then, Allie and David had met in person. They'd linked up on social media. And in gratitude for her priceless gift, David had added Allie to his United Airlines travel benefits so she "travels like my children or my family do," the pilot told CNN.

5,844 days old = 16 laps around Sol.

You've seen more love than most.
You've been thru more Hell than most.
But you kept fighting the fight.
Cancer is in your rear view mirror.
Now you're old enough to USE a rear view mirror.
And you'll always be my Bubba.

Not bad for a Filipino/German/Polish kiddo named after a movie character. You're my (inter)National Treasure.
