Breakthrough chronicles Karikó's relentless pursuit of knowledge and dedication to helping people, depicting her as an inspirational figure for readers interested in science. The book contextualizes Karikó's work within her upbringing in a small village in rural Hungary, the discrimination she faced as an immigrant and woman scientist, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Accessible descriptions of the science behind mRNA support the main narrative, and profiles of other significant figures in the development of the mRNA vaccine illustrate how scientific achievement is never earned alone"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 572.092 Kariko Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- New Books 572.092 Kariko Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 572.092 Kariko Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 572.092 Kariko Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 572.092 Kariko Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Biography B Kariko Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 572.092 Kariko Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Biography 572.092 Kariko Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library YA -- New Books 572.092 Kariko Mc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
