Science Meets Society Roundtable - Breaking Through: My Life in Science by Katalin Karikó

We are happy to announce the next installment of Science Meets Society, a place to discuss topics of ethics, equity and inclusion in science, and the role that our work plays in society.

Karikó is a Hungarian-American biochemist who was one of the winners of 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and whose research played a major role in the development of the Covid vaccine.
