Kati's Tiny Messengers - Megan Hoyt - Bog

When she was young, Katalin Karikó decided she would study science--even though she had never even met a scientist! But she was determined to learn as much as she could about the human body, and once she made a decision, she stuck with it. Katalin had to learn English while attending university, but she worked hard until she became a doctor. After facing many challenges, including lack of research funding and harsh immigration policies, Kati and her family uprooted from Hungary and moved to America, where she became a top researcher.

But with her unshakeable will, she was ready to face the challenge. Includes a note from Dr. Karikâo, a time line, and more information about mRN
