This week we remember the tenth anniversary of the tsunami that took the lives of 18000 people in Tohoku, Japan. While words can’t express the loss of so many, these ten years have taught me the perspective of knowing how precious opportunity it was in bringing strangers together, and with resolve, work together for a better future.

I think this event is unique in that it's a really scientific-based look into research conducted after the event, but yes - I think it's still hard to separate emotion even from science after a tragedy of that scale :(
