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

“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.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
