Description
Dr. Thomas Mahan is a neuroscience fellow. He shared a personal story about fatherhood and its larger impact on his chosen career.
Excerpt:
"...That is when I found out that I would not be a “typical” father. The doctor told us that there were some anomalies detected during the ultrasound. Based on what was observed, we were told it was very likely that our son had Down syndrome. The news was jolting and I quickly found myself on a path that I never imagined being on."
