This was a good interview with her: https://josephnoelwalker.com/147-katalin-kariko/

She had a very interesting life, I hope she writes a memoir.

Edit: She has a memoir out 10th Oct: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/706251/breaking-thr...

In this very moment, Penguin is getting quotes on getting "Nobel Prize Winning Author" stickers for the books.

I have a special hatred for "Now a Major Motion Picture" littering book covers.

her journey to mRNA was full of adversity too. the NYT podcast with her was great coverage of this: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/10/podcasts/the-daily/mrna-v... (my excerpt https://x.com/swyx/status/1490363488824627200?s=20)

i cant imagine how it must feel to have her own vaccine injected in her, and know she saved so many lives through her persistence and the rare few that believed in her through her lowest moments.

Fantastic interview. Always love great branching off points from HN.
