We see so many people around us being awarded all the time, getting grants after grants and having it all just working for them. And this story feels more than amazing, I think I am going to re-listen to all her interviews every day when I wake up. Thank you 🙏 Can’t wait to read the book!

[@di3486]

She was called “not good enough faculty material” I mean, isn’t it amazing how she proved them all wrong?!!!

[@sofiaschonberger1479]

Thank you for reminding me of Hungary, Szeged, the BRC and that kind of Science which is going on there, that kind of mindset which can be ours only there. I recognized all of the signs of past, because I came from the same place. It was a great beginning travel package for the life. I'm very proud of you, Kati! You stayed hard-working, precise, determined, honest, straight, humble and natural. These are the hungarian values, and now you showed everyone hard-working and being a good person can save the World.

I am in tears with happiness and sadness when I hear about her story who is such a great Scientist

Gratulálok Kati! Ez olyan természetes , szívből jövő és szívhez szóló volt mint amilyen te vagy, Zorán dala pedig szép felvezetést adott. Az én én jótevőim is pont azok voltak akik megpróbálták ellehetetleníteni az életemet, de csak erősebbé tettek. Az élet a legjobb rendező. Most láthatják a "jóakaróid," hogy az egész világ tiszteli és becsüli a munkád.

Congratulations Dear Lady.

[@olgaszabo5967]

Gratulálok! Nagyon jó, tetszik a humora is! 🥰❤👍

[@itsjustramblings]

Congrats to her and good for her that she went to the US. If she had gone to Canada she wouldn't even have have got an opportunity to work in a lab probably a uber driver or at tim hortons or a bank or a realtor(Not that those are jobs are bad but you should be able to fully utilize your skills).

Just another disgusting provaxer worm. An inspiration for the provaxer orban-fand and for indoctrinated left-liberalists..

[@brucebenson5908]

Read her wonderful book of 2023, "Breaking Through."

Proud of your journey 🥂

És hogyan értékeljük a 12%-os hatékonyságot ?

[@olgaszabo5967]

Csak nem kevesli a hatóanyagot a vakcinában? 😁 Szerintem örüljünk, hogy a biztonságra törekedtek és az éppen szükséges mennyiséget tették bele, se többet, se kevesebbet.

"the foundational technologies for the highly effective COVID-19 mRNA vaccines."?..

[@MossyMozart]

@wesritter - Millions of people are alive today thanks to this scientist and her partner co-Nobel Prize winner. So very well deserved.

[@jcdg6288]

If we didn’t have women scientists, we might not have found vaccines for covid19. Please give them funding. Give them the same amount of funding and trust as what men receive. There might be an unfunded female scientist out there who has the key to curing all cancers and hiv.
