We draw inspiration from hero Katalin Karikó who never gave up and persisted to help develop the technology that created the Covid vaccine. Check her out in this inspiring interview with the Nobel Prize:
I have to say that people judged me unsuccessful when I felt very successful, because in the laboratory I was in full control of doing experiment, getting question asked and then getting the answer for it. Of course, you never get the answer because when you do an experiment, you get more questions instead of the answer. But this is what is exciting. It seems that not getting funded and there are other difficulties. But actually, when you are a scientist, you constantly have to fight the failures and solve problem difficulties. You keep repeating, you don’t understand, so it is like scientists are those who can get up and keep working with the same enthusiasm. That’s actually some defined success that you can stand up and you can keep on with the same enthusiasm as before.

NBC News Featured the Fixit Clinic Movement
Fixit Clinic is in the national news! Check out this awesome article at NBC News – https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/innovation/right-repair-movement-growing-wins-stack-rcna195230
Peter Mui, founder of Fixit Clinic, describes his repair work as a hobby that’s gotten out of control. What started as a tool share in Berkeley, California, has turned into a volunteer-run group that has organized more than 1,300 repair events around the country. At Fixit Clinics, people can bring any broken household item — from worn socks to broken toasters — and learn how to make them functional again.
“During the last few years, interest in repair has exploded,” Mui said.
He attributes this cultural shift to a growing awareness about the environmental impact of e-waste, as well as a raft of “right-to-repair” laws passing across the U.S. Historically, manufacturers of computers, cars and tractors have cited copyright law to claim exclusive repair rights, allowing them to sue independent repair companies while preventing consumers from finding lower-cost alternatives.
