"Through writing, I unexpectedly discovered a resonant and joyful voice I never thought I had. I felt closer to my family and my ancestors. I appreciated even more the power of scientific discovery that has protected me, my loved ones, and countless others. And most of all, I found deep meaning in being able to share a simple and invaluable lesson, especially to our children. Heroism is universal and attainable. We can all grow up to be heroes in our unique ways."

-- Shan Liu, MD, HMS Associate Professor, MGH Emergency Medicine, TEDxMGH
