News to feed your soul: Great story about the discovery of the BRCA1 gene

[Noodle]

ok, so it's more about the back story leading up to an NIH grant that resulted in one of the most important medical discoveries of the last 50 years. And no one will see the twist at the end regarding a chance meeting with a stranger in an airport.

I love stories like this--individuals overcoming obsticals and accomplishing great and important things. No marches. No protests. Simply a mom kicking in the door--actually several doors including her own mom.
