August 28, 2024 Amie W says:
I was amazed throughout this moving autobiography, and I am so glad that this scientist's perseverance paid off!
In this gripping testament to perseverance and the power of conviction, the pioneering Hungarian American biochemist recounts her 30-year investigation into messenger RNA (mRNA)-- which nearly cost her everything-- that led to the creation of vaccines that protected millions of people from the direst consequences of COVID-19.

I work in adult services. I like to read all kinds of books, but my favorites are historical mysteries. I also listen to audiobooks while I'm walking, baking or doing jigsaw puzzles.
