KATI'S TINY MESSENGERS

Vivien Mildenberger Megan Hoyt

Dr. Katalin Kariko and the Battle against Covic-19

From the author of the National Jewish Book Award Finalist Bartali's Bicycle comes the story of unsung hero Katalin Karikó, the scientist whose research of mRNA led to the world-altering development of the Covid-19 vaccine.
STELLAR STEM-INIST
While children are certainly going to be familiar with the virus that Katalin helped combat, she remains an unsung hero. Other scientists were skeptical of her work, but when COVID-19 hit, her research on messenger RNA (a strand of information-carrying molecules that tells a cell how to behave) became crucial to developing the vaccine.

Includes a note from Dr. Karikó!
