The call from Stockholm woke Katalin Karikó at her home outside Philadelphia. Initially in disbelief, in this interview with Adam Smith, recorded soon after she had learnt of the award of the Nobel Prize for discoveries that accelerated the introduction of vaccines for Covid-19, she recalls her journey from Hungary and some of the setbacks on the path to the mRNA vaccines. "10 years ago I was here in October, because I was kicked out and forced to retire!" Her advice is to not to dwell on the problems: "You have to focus on the things you can change."

solstice to solstice felt like a year unto itself... a lifetime's worth of undoings and relearnings and realizations and tryings in spite of fear.

here's to more of that in the new year. may 2024 be kind to you all 🫶

"because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really."

ARTISTS REMAKING MEDICINE is the 2nd book i've ever designed - a huge puzzle to make coherent given the different content formats within. somehow managed to pull through while also leading two client projects. very proud of the work! but soooo exhausted 😂 https://procedure.press

dr. katalin karikó won the nobel prize in medicine today! what an incredible person. beyond well deserved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=514nzDeT7WM

these lines from a tomas tranströmer poem (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/160491/the-open-window) have been occupying my mind lately:

so much that i loved, does it have any weight?
so many dialects of green.

what's a sound that you'd like to hear again, and why?

"in an ideal world, one’s own personal intuition or radar is the same thing as the force that motivates them."

had an entire conversation with a stranger through google translate today. there's something magical about knowing what's being said, even if awkwardly translated, then interpreting the expression through body language. humans are the best when striving to understand another :)

from james baldwin's essay "the creative process"

this one is for fans of:

- the colour green
- the bear (tv show, not the animal)
- slice-of-life storytelling
- text links

thank you @andy + team for the writing tab. the piece wouldn't be the same without the carousels 💚
