Breakthrough

Season 2 Episode 9

Unexpected moments can lead to a “breakthrough.”

Unexpected moments can lead to a “breakthrough.” A simple truth guides Jen to a new career; after being diagnosed with HIV, Bruce finds new hope and a constant reminder that he is still alive; and a new generation of young women scientists inspire Abel to make the field more inclusive. Three storytellers, three interpretations of BREAKTHROUGH, hosted by Wes Hazard.
