She was 16. Stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

A treatment first proven decades ago is why she’s still here.

This is what progress looks like. Not abstract. Personal.

🔬 Today is National Science Appreciation Day — and as humanists, it's basically our holiday. Reason, evidence, and the pursuit of truth are at the heart of everything we value. Science doesn't just explain the world; it improves it.

A blurred image of a car accident scene with emergency responders and vehicles in the background. Overlaid text reads: “Science saved me when my car was run off the road by a drunk driver. A major concussion meant months of treatments. Now I am back!” — Oakley.

A drunk driver ran him off the road.
Months of treatment.

Now he’s back.

Science made that possible.

What’s a moment you’re still here because of?

Black-and-white historical photo of children in hospital beds, some inside iron lungs, fills the top half of the image. A black bar across the center reads “March 26, 1953,” with a white bar below stating “The day everything changed.” The bottom half shows a color photo of a young child running freely through a field, with another person in the distance, symbolizing life after medical progress.

March 26 marks a turning point.

In 1953, the first successful polio vaccine trials were announced.

A future that used to feel inevitable suddenly wasn’t.

That’s worth remembering.

Blurred photo of a person pushing a lawn mower across a green yard in front of a house. Overlaid text reads: “I had no pain, no appetite, no thirst and no desire to do anything.” — Duane. ScienceSaves logo appears in the bottom right.

No pain. No urgency. Just… nothing.

A ruptured appendix almost killed him.

Five hours of surgery saved his life.

He’s 86 now. Still going.

“Science—and a lot of people—saved my life.”

March 26. #ScienceAppreciationDay

Delaware just joined.

This keeps growing for a reason.
A vaccine.
A procedure.
A diagnosis caught in time.

A lot of us are here because science showed up at the right time.

March 26.

I Was One of the Last Americans to Get Polio. I was born July 3rd, 1951 in Greenwood, South Carolina and had polio when I was 16 months old in 1952. In 1955 the polio vaccine came out. I remember reading an article about someone who was paralyzed by it in 1958 and that was like wow! Because anybody who saw how crippling and devastating this disease was got the vaccine.

March 26th is Science Appreciation Day!

"His valve was supposed to be 31 mm. It was 9.”

A newer heart procedure saved Isabelle’s grandfather at 85.

She may inherit the same condition.

Scientific progress doesn’t just save lives.
It carries forward.

Five days out, and this is already spreading.

States are recognizing March 26 as National #ScienceAppreciationDay because a lot of us are alive thanks to it.

If that’s your story (or someone you love), you’re part of this too.

A copy of my book Bark! The Science of Helping Your Anxious, Fearful, or Reactive Dog on display at Tidewater Books in Sackville, NB. The book has a blue cover with text in white and black, and features a cute Chihuahua. The book was chosen as #CanLit for this #WoofWednesday and #ScienceAppreciationDay. Because today is also #PurpleDay, Bark! is displayed alongside a beautiful hand-made purple and cream glazed pot from Alicia Kate Pottery Co in NB, and a purple journal from Victoria's Journal. In front of Bark! there is a red maple leaf pin to signify that the author (Zazie Todd, i.e. me) is Canadian. The publisher, Greystone Books, is also Canadian. Behind the display, you can see the inside of this wonderful independent bookstore.

Thank you to @tidewaterbooks.bsky.social in Sackville, NB, for featuring Bark! as their #CanLit choice this #WoofWednesday #ScienceAppreciationDay

4/4 They know it doesn’t conflict with their religious beliefs. It’s frightening when clergy are more supportive of science than is the US government. But that’s where we are now & we must speak out about this insanity. #scienceappreciationday #vaccine #vaccinesafety #religion #science
