‘The History of Science, it’ — Katalin Karikó Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Muscle Tank

“The history of science, it turns out, is filled with stories of very smart people laughing at good ideas.” Katalin Karikó wrote this in her 2023 memoir Breaking Through, having spent years demoted and defunded for betting on mRNA — the work that later produced the COVID vaccines and won her the Nobel that same year. She learned it firsthand: the laughter of smart people in the room is a poor test of whether an idea is good.
