With people still reeling from the events in London, I am reminded of the good that R2BC can do. Reminding us all that the world is far from the horrible place, that we are sometimes led to believe.

Today, R2BC seems to, mostly, be about Health and the world being done to save lives around the world. From DNA Sequencing that means faster and better treatment of Tuberculosis, an incredible breakthrough that could mean the mass-production of artificial blood, age-reversing drug tests which could potentially help stop tumours and improve quality of life and, not forgetting the potential new Rotavirus Vaccine that could save the lives of 500 000 Children a Year in Africa.

If I have one favourite story? Probably, the news that Taiwan could become the first country in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage. At times like these it’s good to know that #LoveWins.
