Matt Might was one of my favorite professors when I was in school. I hadn't learned about his son's passing until seeing this. Both Matt and his son are an inspiration to what can be done even in the face of the unknown.

I can't imagine the pain and anguish over the years that must have been felt as parents, so it was comforting to read about what kind of person Bertrand became.

I hope that if my son ever needs my skills, I would be up to the task so perfectly understated here: "Extending an artificial intelligence tool on the fly to analyze the data, Bertrand’s father found an unusual strain of pseudomonas as the likely culprit in Bertrand’s body."

Best of luck with the Bertrand Might Endowment for Hope!
