Kati's tiny messengers : Dr. Katalin Karikó and the battle against COVID-19 / Dr. Katalin Karikó and the battle against COVID-19 Doctor Katalin Karikó and the battle against COVID-19 written by Megan Hoyt ; illustrated by Vivien Mildenberger. - First edition. - 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 29 cm
Includes bibliographical references.
When she was young, Katalin Karik 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. She knew that, with work, she could teach one of the building blocks of life, messenger RNA, to fight off harmful viruses. There was just one problem--no one else believed her. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and Kati and her work were thrust into the spotlight. But with her unshakable will, she was ready to face the challenge. Includes a note from Dr. Karik, a time line, and more information about mRNA.
