Young in mind, old at heart

Dr. Joven Cuanang and Dr. Janssen Kotah with the consultant staff during the Dr. Joven R. Cuanang Symposium at St. Luke’s College of Medicine AuditoriumIt is not often that we come upon individuals across generations that truly move us.

The speaker for this year’s symposium, Dr. Janssen Kotah, embodies “young in mind, old at heart,” but on a whole different level. Simply put, it’s a collective body of work that he and his team have completed in order to try and explain what happens to all of us when we get exposed to these stresses and how it affects our brain and body as we age. Think of it as an engineer figuring out what parts of a machine should be taken care of in order for it to not go haywire.

No one deserves to be exposed to the different forms of child abuse and neglect that have indirectly led to the loss of lives in the Philippines context. Dr. Kotah is the definition of a young man with an old soul. What an incredibly learned individual. Mind you, he was seamless and smooth in his transitions to the more technical aspects of his research works.

Truly a humble man he is and I wish for everyone to replicate not his collective body of work but instead to replicate his principles and passion for what he loves to do.
