We can grow used to #science
After awhile what was once extraordinary is now mundane
Then you encounter a story that absolutely blows your mind
Wonder and awe are rekindled
"A decade after losing her sight, a #BC woman can see again — through her tooth"
TLDR:
1. remove tooth, implant in cheek
2. wait, let it gather connective tissue
3. remove both, add plastic lens
4. implant in eye socket
5. connective tissue anchors
6. some sight is restored
