A sad day. Ada's pioneering work on the ribosome changed how we understand one of the central machines of life. She is a remarkable example of curiosity and boldness in pursuing questions that seemed impossible. Her scientific courage and persistence has been an inspiration.

Genuine question: if AI could cut drug development time in half, would you trust a "faster-approved" drug as much as a traditionally approved one? Curious where people land on this.

Katalin Karikó is one of the most extraordinary scientific stories of this era. A girl from a modest Hungarian household helped develop technology that saved millions of lives worldwide. In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that enabled effective mRNA vaccines.
SHE WAS DEMOTED, UNDERPAID, AND IGNORED FOR 40 YEARS. HER
UNIVERSITY TOLD HER MRNA RESEARCH WAS WORTHLESS. HER COLLEAGUES STOPPED TAKING HER SERIOUSLY. SHE EARNED $50,000 A YEAR FOR FOUR DECADES. THEN COVID ARRIVED - AND, SHE WON THE NOBEL PRIZE.

At the top center, a photograph shows a dark red viscous liquid being poured from a spoon into a dish. At the top right, two fluorescence images compare a bright red emission under nitrogen (N₂) with a dimmer signal in air, labeled “Quenching.” At the bottom right, a Stern-Volmer plot displays a linear signal increase in a graph with oxygen concentration from 0% to 100%. At the lower center, a yellow box lists features of the optical oxygen sensing: sensitivity, linearity, photostability, and ratiometry.
