Hello Reader,

It's been a month since I last wrote to you. I've decided to switch to monthly newsletters – many of you already follow me on LinkedIn, where you can receive more frequent updates. If you don't follow me or Emilia yet, please do:

1. Animation in the Making

We've just wrapped up an exciting project for Crucible Therapeutics that we're holding under wraps until Bio Europe in about 4 weeks. The anticipation is killing me – but good things come to those who wait!

Meanwhile, we've kicked off several new projects. Some are bound by confidentiality agreements (the mysterious world of biotech!), while others are still in their infancy – scripts being written, storyboards taking shape. I promise to share more visual treats next time when these babies start coming to life.

2. Animation Delivered

​

We've delivered the first minute of an ambitious 5-minute animation that's heading for translation into 4 languages. This one's special – it's designed for patient recruitment, helping parents understand why their children should participate in clinical trials.

We've noticed increasing demand for these patient-focused animations, and it makes sense. Parents need clarity when making such important decisions about their children's health. The science needs to be accurate, but the message must be accessible.

If you're preparing a clinical trial and thinking about patient recruitment, consider how animation could bridge that understanding gap. We've produced quite a few now and have learned what resonates with families facing these decisions.

3. Private news - from Poland

While everyone we know jetted off abroad, we embraced the Polish summer and stayed local. Our windmill stay in eastern Poland was magical – just kilometers from the Belarusian border, where we spotted two German bikers attempting to cycle to Moscow via Minsk. Talk about an adventure! I hope they properly assessed the risks ahead.

We also spent a week at my mother's, where we created the now-famous "grandmother's GIF." It perfectly captures our tagline: Thanks to us, even your grandmother will say, "Ah - now I get your science!"

And best news of all:

Luna walked through the school gates this September!

After missing an entire year, our daughter is back. More than a week now, and counting.

For parents of kids with PANS/PANDAS, you understand what this means. The morning routines without meltdowns. The backpack on her shoulders instead of thrown across the room. The "see you later, Dad" instead of tears.

We're holding our breath, of course. Autumn brings infections, and infections bring flares. Every sniffle in her classroom makes us tense. But right now, today, she's there. Learning. Playing. Being seven years old.

Sometimes dreams come true in small, ordinary moments. Like watching your daughter walk into school and knowing she'll make it through the day.

If you have any questions about our animations, just reply to this email. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on the newsletter - does it bring you value, and do you enjoy reading it?

Talk soon,

Frank

P.S. Emilia's newsletter at therollercoaster.life continues to grow – biweekly science and survival tips for parents navigating PANDAS/PANS. Check it out if you know families on this journey.
