This makes me very happy indeed. BTW, the new Hungarian Health Minister, who went 'viral' for his dancing on election night, is Zsolt Hegedűs, an orthopaedic surgeon who, among his many achievements spent 10 years working in the NHS in England. He also was a prominent member of Hungarian doctors who campaigned against the so-called 'hálapénz ' or gratuity system where Hungarians pay doctors in cash for better medical treatment and services. So, a thoroughly decent person who knows a think or two about health matters. And so great to see Karikó playing a role in Hungary's health policy.

Un libro: Nonostante tutto

Katalin Karikó ha letteralmente salvato milioni di vite e lo ha fatto nonostante tutto: nonostante fosse donna, nonostante fosse un’immigrata, nonostante per decenni nessuno abbia realmente creduto in lei e nei suoi studi.

Credeva in quello che stava facendo, aveva fiducia nei suoi risultati e si è ostinata a fare le sue ricerche per decenni.

Non ha mai vacillato nella convinzione che [...] l’RNA messaggero

'Not of faculty quality': How #Penn mistreated #NobelPrize-winning researcher 🧬 Katalin Karikó 🧬

It’s not about the lack of vision to recognize the Micheal Jordan sized talent potential.. it’s simply about not treating people shitty.

'Not of faculty quality': How Penn mistreated Nobel Prize-winning researcher Katalin Karikó

Karikó won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for her past research into mRNA technology, which was critical in the development of Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines.

You won't want to miss this. Perhaps it was planned by the university (how many people have camera crews in their homes?), but doesn't matter. It's wonderful. Drew #Weissman, co-recipient with (Katalin #Karikó) of the 2023 #Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine for work that led to creation of #mRNA #vaccines against #COVID19 calls to tell his parents that he won.

This Video of a Jewish Nobel Prize Winner Telling His Parents He Won Is Everything – Kveller

Your child winning the Nobel prize is kind of a stereotypical Jewish parent’s (and let’s face it, every parent’s) dream. Yet for the parents of Jewish immunologist Drew Weissman and his research partner Katalin Kariko, that dream became a reality this week when the two research partners who created the technology that gave us the […]

Dr. Brad Rosenheim has moved!Oct 6, 2023

@glasspusher @tayfonay @zacchiro @jacobin One needs to look no further than the winner of the Nobel Prize in medicine, Dr. Katalin #Karikó for your second point. She was shunned by her university for taking the slow and steady path to very important research, she was relegated to a second class citizen of the university, and then the university tried to take credit anyway.

row2k POTD: Rowing Mom Wins Nobel

Longtime rowing mom Dr. Katalin Kariko won the Nobel Prize for Medicine, achieved during a time she sent in Photos of the Day to row2k over the years, really impressive. row2k asked Susan for a photo of the family at a rowing race, and she sent this one taken by her aunt, along with the following note. Tremendous and deserving congrats to Dr. Kariko and the whole family. 'Thank you for all of the wonderful outpouring of support that I have received from many of my fellow rowers. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, well I am very excited to share that my mother, Dr. Katalin Kariko won the Nobel prize for Medicine for her work on the mRNA vaccine. She has always said that rowing in the 8+ is like science... you row backwards and can't see the finish line, but you trust that it's there... pulling as hard as you can and doing whatever it takes to win. And it's never alone, you have the team that helps propel you forward. The team of scientists all working on one common goal. I am grateful that she instilled grit and hard work into my core values and also that failure is ok. You just have to pick yourself up, learn from it and come out of it even more determined to succeed. She did joke that on the other hand, winning the Nobel Prize was not at all like winning at the Olympics. She said that was more like racing and then potentially waiting 10 or 15 years to find out if you won and had to go to the medal ceremony. Ha!'.

C'est quand même pas tout à fait ça, #AnneLHuillier a fait une quinzaine d'années de recherche en France, et #PierreAgostini plus de 35...

En matière d'opération de com', celle de #UPenn sur #Kariko est franchement plus problématique.
