If there’s one person who has to be recognized it’s Katalin Karikó. She was just too stubborn to quit, when most people would have just found another line of research.
Malone has seemed kind of bitter these past few months, but it wasn’t clear why, until reading this.
Thanks for posting this.
Malone doesn’t seem bitter to me. I follow him on twitter, he seems pretty objective and pragmatic. Actually amazing since there are those who are desperately trying to cancel him.

She seems to be held in very high regard by her contemporaries. They are the ones recommending her for a Nobel prize. The public doesn’t know her name because she’s not a self-promoter looking for recognition.
