#127 mRNA and Resilience in Science with Dr. Katalin Karikó

Her collaboration with Drew Weissman led to the development of the mRNA vaccines and her story is a testament to perseverance and going against all odds: this month Hanna talked to Dr. Katalin Karikó. In the podcast, we discuss RNA research, but also creativity, learning, reading, academia vs. industry and Katalin's next goals (they are truly impressive). If you have time for only one podcast episode this month, this should be the one.
