Dear Staff Colleagues -

     Today at 12:30 at the Science of Science Funding meeting at the
Summer Institute, Katalin Kariko, the heroine of the BioNTech mRNA
vaccine breakthrough story, will be speaking on a panel about "Ways to
Fund Science."  Kariko struggled for years to secure grant funding for
her research.  The program for this meeting may be found here:

The meeting will be on YouTube and should be accessible at the following

     Hope that this is of interest - all best wishes.
