Proof of Good News

The good news is real. Here's the proof.

[Proof of Good News @ProofofGoodNews]

Welcome to Proof of Good News. 🌎☀️

The world has plenty of problems. We aren't here to pretend otherwise.

We're here because something else is also true:

Every day, diseases are being treated. Lives are being saved. Strangers are helping strangers. Species are recovering. Communities are rebuilding. Scientists are making breakthroughs. People are doing extraordinary things for one another.

Those stories deserve a place in your feed, too.

Our promise is simple:

✓ Real stories
✓ Credible sources
✓ No manufactured outrage
✓ No misleading clickbait
✓ The source included so you can see the evidence yourself
Medical breakthroughs. Heroism. Kindness. Charity. Human progress. Science. Conservation. And reminders of what people are capable of.
The good news is real.
We're here to show you the proof.

A simple urine test could eventually make detecting and treating bladder cancer much easier.

In a study of 683 urine samples, a new RNA-based test identified 95% of people with localized bladder cancer — while correctly clearing 90% of people without it.

It may also help doctors predict which treatment is most likely to work.

The test still needs larger prospective trials before clinical use.

A new safe haven for one of the world's rarest crocodiles. 🐊

Cambodia has legally protected 315 hectares of critical nesting habitat for the Critically Endangered Siamese crocodile.

The site is home to 40+ crocodiles — the species' largest remaining wild population.

And after decades of conservation work, more than 240 genetically pure Siamese crocodiles have already been returned to Cambodia's wild.

One act of kindness turned into an entire restaurant getting treated.

That's the part I love about stories like this. Generosity can be contagious. Someone quietly did something kind for one family, and DJ Moore immediately multiplied it for everyone else in the room.

Good creates more good.

A one-time gene-editing treatment cut “bad” cholesterol roughly in half — and the effect was still there a year later.

In a first-in-human trial, 15 people with difficult-to-treat cholesterol disorders received an experimental CRISPR therapy.

At the highest dose, average LDL cholesterol was down 52.5% after one year. Triglycerides fell 47.8%.

Very early research. Very small trial. But an extraordinary result worth watching.

Babies don’t babble to sound cute—they’re taking their first steps on the path to learning language. A 2022 study shows parrot chicks do the same.

Although the behavior has been seen in songbirds and two mammalian species, finding it in these birds is important, experts say, as they may provide the best nonhuman model for studying how we begin to learn language.

Potentially encouraging news for people with wet age-related macular degeneration:

A Phase 3 trial of Zenkuda met its primary vision endpoint, and 54% of participants reached a 6-month dosing interval.

That could eventually mean fewer eye injections for some patients.

The treatment is NOT yet FDA-approved, and today's results were announced by its developer.

Some measurable good news:

The official U.S. poverty rate fell from 10.7% to 10.2% in 2025.

Child poverty fell to 13.4% — the lowest official rate on record.

The broader Supplemental Poverty Measure, however, did not significantly change.

Progress worth recognizing. Work still to do.

A bird that vanished from the wild nearly 40 years ago is getting another chance.

Sihek — Guam kingfishers — survived only because conservationists built a breeding population in human care.

Nine were returned to the wild in 2024. They're thriving and have laid eggs.

Now, up to 8 more could join them later this year. 🌎

A step toward better solar cells.

Researchers reduced defects in experimental perovskite cells, achieving 25.8% certified steady-state efficiency. A lab advance—not yet a rooftop product.

One dress. 380 people. 51 countries.

From 2009 to 2023, people around the world stitched their stories into the Red Dress—a shared work of art that gave marginalized voices a place to be heard.

I don’t typically post much about my personal life on here.
But today is different.
It’s a special day for me.
I’ve been sober for 23 years today.
I’m not proud that I ever sank that low.
But I’m grateful that I have been able to rise above what I once was.

Scientists just observed something that's eluded researchers for decades.

Stanford physicists directly observed individual units of sound making quantum jumps in real time.

The breakthrough could help advance quantum computing and ultra-sensitive sensors.

Recently, Firefighter Miranda met Jose, a 12-year-old who walks from school each day to help his mom run their family taco stand. After school, Jose helps prepare the food and translates for his mom. Jose had an old, rusty bicycle, but without a helmet or light, he couldn’t safely ride it home. After hearing his story, Firefighter Miranda decided to help. On his own, he purchased Jose a brand-new bicycle, helmet, and light, giving him a safe way to get home while continuing to help his mom with their family business. ❤️ 👏  (🎥:montebellofd)

A lab that can travel to the patient.

Cornell researchers have developed a portable test designed to distinguish Ebola from Lassa fever using a pinprick of blood.

The goal: faster diagnosis where traditional lab infrastructure is limited.
