Welcome to The Logoff: Hi readers, good news — today we are Logging Off. There’s been plenty of news today, but the Trump administration hasn’t done anything so significant you need to know about it right now. We’ll see you back here tomorrow. 

For the first time, scientists believe they have successfully treated Huntington's disease, a neurodegenerative condition once thought to be both unpreventable and fatal. Data from a clinical trial found that the treatment — a type of gene therapy targeting a protein in the brain — slows the disease’s progress by a miraculous 75 percent. It’s an incredibly good bit of news about a terrible disease and a hopeful reminder of how much important stuff science can accomplish. Have a great evening!
