Katalin Kariko

Katalin Kariko spent years on a problem the field had largely set aside, and her persistence helped make a new class of medicine real. We study that patience as much as the science.

All of gratitude
Why we're grateful

Biochemist whose decades of work on modified messenger RNA made mRNA vaccines possible; a Nobel laureate in 2023.

A reminder that quiet, unfashionable persistence on a hard problem can change the world - the temperament we prize in deep work.

Key learnings

The lessons we carry into the work.

Persist through the wilderness

She kept going when funding and fashion were against her. Conviction plus rigor, sustained over decades, is its own kind of breakthrough.

Fundamentals compound

Deep work on a core mechanism paid off far beyond its original aim - the case for investing in real foundations.

Credit the long game

Recognition came late; the work came first. A lesson in doing the thing for its own sake.

Learn it. Build it. Pass it on.

The best way to honor a teacher is to use what they taught - and to teach it forward.
