but also despite inventing mRNA tech was denied tenure at Penn due to lack of grant funding, her paper submission to Nature that won her the Prize was rejected due to being "incremental"- yet didn't stop either from bragging about the result!Anyway, it's always of course a fantasy if you've been so wronged to think about how you'd react, but I think this interviewis lovely and worth reading.
I have to say that my mother, she passed away 2018, but my mother listened always to the announcement of who gets the Nobel Prize because she told me, “Oh next week they will announce, maybe you will get it.” You know I was laughing, I was not even a professor, no team, and I told my mom, don’t listen, and she said, “Yes but you know, you work so hard.” And I told her that all scientists work very hard.
Many young ones are giving up because they can see that their friends or their colleagues are advancing, and it seems that they do less and somehow, they get higher salary and promoted. I told that if you notice that then you already took away your attention what you can change. Because you cannot change that. And I told that when I was terminated, I didn’t spend time feeling sorry for you and saying things like “Why me?” You have to focus all the energy you have to spend, to seek out, “What next? What I can do.”
I think she sounds lovely.
And had the most Hungarian mom ever, trust me. 
Anyway, my mom's a big fan girl (bc she's basically the same age, plus Hungarian), so we've been following her for years, and coincidentally my sister is meeting her in a few weeks so that's exciting as well!
Also, one of the physics winners this year is ALSO Hungarian. Good record this year.
