"Hungarian-American scientist Katalin Kariko’s obsession with researching a substance called mRNA to fight disease once cost her a faculty position at a prestigious university, which dismissed the idea as a dead end.

Now, her pioneering work — which paved the way for the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines — could be what saves the world from a 100-year pandemic." AFP

Pretty much an amazing story. There should be a Nobel x 10 in her future.
