On Dec. 2 the University of Wisconsin will celebrate the opening of the Wisconsin Institutes of Discovery. I wish David Iverson, a former news reporter for Wisconsin?s public television, would be invited to speak on this auspicious occasion.
While many will see this event as a huge investment in innovation technology and higher paying jobs for Wisconsin?s shrinking economy, many of us who suffer daily from disabling chronic diseases see it as a day of hope — hope that this new science facility?s foremost mission is to shorten the period before we are once again whole and free of pain.
