We are deeply saddened by the passing of John Clements. In 2017, we had the privilege of interviewing him for this film about his groundbreaking discovery of surfactant in the lungs, and his realization that premature babies often lack this vital substance. His work revolutionized neonatal care, with the development of surfactant treatments leading to dramatic increases in survival rates. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.
