Quite the grab bag for this week’s “Stuff We Liked.”

We lead off with an amazing, inspiring story of the first ever transplant of a kidney from one HIV+ person to another, performed by surgeon / lindy hopper Dorry Segev and his team at John Hopkins University. This breakthrough greatly enlarges the population of possible kidney donors and demonstrates the advances in improving the life expectancy of HIV+ people. Congrats to Dorry and his team, and to the brave donor Nina Martinez, pictured above.

Check out our interview with Dorry from a few years ago on SwingNation.
