Brought to you by Penguin.
From butcher's daughter in communist Hungary to winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, this is the story of one woman's extraordinary determination and her breakthrough discovery that saved millions of lives.
Katalin Karikó began life as a butcher’s daughter in communist Hungary. Raised in a one-room home of clay and straw with no running water, she saw potential everywhere: in the promise of a seed, in the alchemy of soap, in the scarlet of a carcass.
Breaking Through is the extraordinary story of her courageous determination – first to become a scientist, and then to unlock an elusive molecule she believed could revolutionise medicine. Others disagreed, and for decades she endured demotions, discrimination and even threats of deportation. Yet Karikó persevered, ultimately making a world-shifting discovery: the mRNA vaccine technology that saved millions of lives and will transform healthcare forever.

It is the time consuming, often tedious, repetitive and overwhelmingly misunderstood tasks undertaken every day by focused and too often belittled or disregarded people in the world who hold the keys...and the ignorance and ego's of the people in control of power and money who are the key to the destruction of mankind in any salvageable way.
Change and solutions are processes that require change in what those making the rules believe and preach...in a return to basics and a willingness of all people to consent to accepting what must occur in the lives of the next generation of children....accepting levels of expected parenting and outside assistance as needed, Not taking away individual rights and freedoms but understanding mental illness and accepting not all are college bound but all deserve a career and the rewards reserved for those with large bank accounts....and sadly, the thousands of years of male rulersand law makers. whether religious or not, that are simply wrong. Issues such as weapons and wars....too many factors ruling the world sought as quick fixes.
Katalin's a story of truth and determination in such a degree that too few of us are willing to pursue because of the personal sacrifices and rejections and all that the current 'instant gratification society' is misguided by as it destroys any hope for a truly progressive and positive world society.
Brilliant life, wonderful woman
