Katalin Karikó: COVID Vaccine Heroine

From a mud-walled cottage in Hungary to the Nobel Prize stage, Katalin Karikó’s journey is one of extraordinary persistence. Her breakthrough in mRNA technology became a cornerstone of the COVID-19 vaccines, saving millions of lives. Her path was anything but traditional. Michael Allen will explore the science behind the COVID-19 vaccines and Karikó’s remarkable personal story—one that includes raising an Olympic champion and the unlikely, pivotal role of a 900-pound teddy bear.
