This program features Margaret Lock, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology at McGill University, who begins her lecture speaking of the best-selling author Stephen J. Gould, who was diagnosed with a deadly form of cancer, called peritoneal mesothelioma, which affects the abdominal lining. Statistically, the average life expectancy for 50% of people with this cancer is only 7- 8 months; this led Gould to publish an article titled 'The Median Isn't the Message,' in which he concluded that the other 50% could live longer, which he did, making a full recovery. Dr. Lock concludes the series by addressing the realities of genetic testing and predicting breast cancer.

Here. Us. Now chronicles one family’s determined fight to transform the medical research system in order to speed drug discoveries for treating chronic and debilitating rare diseases, which are more commonplace than is widely known. Directed by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Rudy Poe, the film follows the story of Hugh and Chris Hempel, whose twin eight-year old daughters are dying from a rare progressive neurological disease called Niemann Pick Type C, with no known cure. Despite their lack of medical background, the Hempels use their entrepreneurial skills to seek a breakthrough drug treatment. As the devastating effects of the disease begin to take hold, the Hempels enter a complex and challenging world of medical literature, clinical trials and regulatory mazes, where new drug discoveries and approval are slow and often ineffective. The Hempel family's journey also reveals the grim truth that "rare diseases" are actually widespread -- affecting 30 million Americans, nearly 1 in 10, and 350 million people worldwide. Yet, only 200 of the estimated 7,000 known rare diseases have FDA-approved drug treatments. Here.Us.Now advocates for a new model that accelerates the search for medical breakthroughs. The film encourages creative entrepreneurs to connect with patients, parents, advocacy networks, reform-minded physicians, and scientists to develop a better approach.

Leading researchers and scientists reveal the secrets of the medical miracle that has added ten years to the life expectancy of every person on earth!
In 1941, Penicillin was first used to save a human life. In the half century since, antibiotics have revolutionized medicine, adding ten years to the life expectancy of every man, woman and child on the planet! But there are ominous signs that the revolution is at an end.
MODERN MARVELS™ chronicles the discovery of these miracle medicines, their introduction and rapid growth, and their murky future. John Swan of the Food and Drug Administration offers a detailed look at their astonishing effects on human life in just a few brief decades, all but eliminating the threat from numerous diseases. Go into the labs where new antibiotics are being developed, and see why many researchers are concerned that their time as a "magic bullet" may be expiring. And hear from experts like Martin Weiss of the N.Y. Hall of Science and Stuart Levy from Tufts, who are working to stay ahead of the new threats to antibiotics' place as one of mankind's greatest accomplishments.
From the 1928 lab where penicillin was discovered to the grim spectre of 'superbugs,' this is a captivating history of ANTIBIOTICS: THE WONDER DRUGS.
