"The Stanley Family Foundation announced another $280 million for the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at Broad Institute earlier this month, bringing its total contributions to the Massachusetts-based nonprofit over $1 billion."
"Jon Stanley considers himself fortunate among bipolar disorder patients. He eventually responded to the right drug cocktail after self-described 'full-brained mania' almost 40 years ago."
"The experience inspired his late parents, Ted and Vada Stanley, to donate hundreds of millions of dollars toward research into treatments for bipolar and schizophrenia during their lifetimes."
"He said he wanted his 'Manhattan Project,' Jon recalled. 'And so, the only question was: who was gonna be Oppenheimer?'"
