But she was determined to learn as much as she could about the human body, and once she made a decision, she stuck with it. Katalin had to learn English while attending university, but she worked hard until she became a doctor.After facing many challenges, including lack of research funding and harsh immigration policies, Kati and her family uprooted from Hungary and moved to America, where she became a top researcher. She knew that, with work, she could teach one of the building blocks of life, messenger RNA, to fight off harmful viruses. There was just one problem-no one else believed her.Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and Kati and her work were thrust into the spotlight. But with her unshakable will, she was ready to face the challenge.Includes a note from Dr. Karik, a time line, and more information about mRNA. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $x Prevention $v Juvenile fiction. $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Vaccination $v Juvenile fiction. $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Children's stories. 700 1 $a Mildenberger, Vivien, $e artist. 941 $a 3 952 $l FLPB224 $d 20240222010324.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240207010356.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8BCAD696BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
