Ever since the The Nobel Prize was launched in 1901, women have been underrepresented - even Marie Curie was initially overlooked.

Kudos all the more to Hungarian-American Katalin Kariko for last year’s Medicine Nobel and this year’s World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General’s Award for Global Health #WHA77

Gratulálunk! Congratulations to Katalin Karikó, originally from Hungary, co-recipient of the World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General’s 2024 Award for Global Health along with Drew Weissman for contributing to the development of #COVID19 mRNA vaccines.

They won the Medicine The Nobel Prize last year!
