  • Nobel for mRNA Vaccines: Penn University Claims Credit After Sacking Laureate | Vantage with Palki Sharma
    Katalin Karikó, once demoted by the University of Pennsylvania for her mRNA research, has won the Nobel Prize alongside Drew Weissman for their groundbreaking work on COVID-19 vaccines. Despite facing career-long struggles and a forced retirement, Karikó's contributions are now celebrated, although UPenn omits her past demotion in their statements. Palki Sharma brings you the full story.

      Universities and academic institutions always do that. This is very normal for them. Its a game of power, jealousy, hatred, greed. Flattery wins. Shoe lickers stick to the positions. Just you buy a new car here in a private Engg. institution and they throw you out. They cant tolerate such things. They give education to people ! Are they really worthy? Not at all. If you buy a house in the same city where you work, they throw you out of job and force you to work in different city. Academia is gone into the wrong hands and Govts have become hopeless and useless.

Make the procedures in public. In research there is a subject for course work called research methodology. They should replace it by 'how to successfully complete the procedures' in the very begining of the research work. If a person passes this course, even University can't stop the person. But, will the universities do that? They won't. It's all about the procedures the universities deliberately hide from people..

      Whether or not you get tenure depends on how much funding your lab gets and the reputation it aquires while you are an assistant professor. In her case however she was an adjunct professor, and those positions (for research anyway) are part time and funded by grant money you bring in. The later is particularly important since you are expected to do independent significant research if on tenure track, and you need grants to fund that. If you can't get enough grants to support your lab you won't get tenure no matter what, it is as simple as that. Essentially you have to arrange your own salary as well if you are an adjunct prof, it does not come from university funds, so normally you are paid by another professor, a company or the government. Those positions are sort of halfway between a post doc an an assistant professor position (which salary the university does pay for) and there is an understanding that eventually you are going to move on. I would guess she was unable to do that adequately and consequently had to move on, it kind of works that way and happens at every university routinely. Adjunct professors are not permanent and it is assumed you have some more permanent job somewhere else.

    • @Tugela60
      @Tugela60 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @commercialbreak8290 What is BS? That is what an adjunct professor is. You get four types of professors. Adjucts, who are basically part time and get largely paid from external sources, not the university itself unless they teach some courses, which they may be paid for. Assistant professors, which are the the first stage of tenure track. They don't have tenure though, meaning the university can dismiss them. The university pays them a small salary, but they have a period in which they are expected to establish themselves and get their labs funded through grants. If they do that they will get tenure, if they don't they get pushed out. Then you get associate professors, the next step on tenure track. They have tenure but are essentially junior professors. The university pays them, but salaries are lower. After that you get full professors, they are the senior positions in tenure track and get paid full salaries. All of the senior leadership in the university will be drawn from the last group, such as department heads, deans, named chairs, etc.
      Kariko was an adjunct professor, meaning she was being paid primarily by external sources and those sorts of positions are usually pretty precarious since the department does not have funds to pay salary, other than for any teaching you might do.
      The problem with this video is that they don't appear to understand the differences between the four types of professors. The issues faced by Kariko are the same issues every adjunct faces, they are NOT secure positions unless you work for a company or the government but have your lab in the University.

      Look up Douglas C. Prasher, the Cindarella of molecular biology. Osamu Shimomura, Roger Y. Tsien and Martin Chalfie won the 2008 Nobel prize for their development of the fluorescent jellyfish protein, which is used to identify any given protein in a biological sample, on all those dramatic color photos on the covers of Science, Nature and Cell. Prasher discovered the gene for green fluorescent protein, which he shared with Chalfie and Tsien, but he didn't get his grant renewed, didn't get tenure, and wound up driving a van for a Toyota dealer in Huntsville, Alabama for $10 an hour. When Chalfie and Tsien found out what happened to Prasher, they publicly gave him credit for his contribution, and paid for his trip to Sweden as their guest at the Nobel prize award ceremony. Prasher finally wound up working in a tech company in Alabama, and then for Tsien's lab.
      Things have certainly chainged in the last 50 years. My college professors told me that in the 1950s and early 1960s, if you got a PhD, you were guaranteed a tenure-track job. By the late 1960s, it was musical chairs. In my self-serving opinion, I think we should spend as much money on biomedical research as defense. (Or more. COVID-19 killed more Americans than all foreign wars.)

    More important takeaway, don't care who laughs at your work and effort. Objectively assess the feasibility (including the criticisms) of your work and if you think it is feasible go on with it. Also, don't get swept away by the accolades, these were the same people who were laughing at you some years back.

    This type of story is not untypical for Nobel-prize winners. Stanley Prusiner, for example, was ridiculed in the scientific community for years about his ideas on the causes of mad cow disease, but in the end he had the last laugh and a Nobel prize. Shinya Yamanaka was ridiculed among his colleagues for his ideas on induced pluripotent stem cells, but in the end won the Nobel prize for it. Shuji Nakamura was ridiculed in his company while developing techniques to produce blue LEDs, but in the end won the Nobel prize. Need I go on? It underscores what an extraordinary achievements these scientists have accomplished to qualify for the highest scientific reward.

    She was also complaining a lot about how she was treated in her native country, Hungary, in the 2021 April New York Times article.
    She got excellent education and was treated well but Hungary is a small country and they could not come up with funding for such a nascent field. By now she toned down her complaints about Hungary as they rewarded her with various prestigious prizes and honorary professorships.

      Hungarian here: this country is a shithole and she was right to complain. The education system is rotting, funds for it and research are dropping, corruption is rampant, universities got taken under direct control by members of the one-party-state who also censor and block researches, academist and scientist payments are abysmally low, the population has serious literacy issues, libraries too are underfunded, book producers were also taken control of by fidesz party-members as were all of the media and our whole economy.

    Dr. Kariko's story is inspirational. However, a scientist research & publications produced while affiliated to a US university belongs to the institution - so U. Penn claiming credit is not appalling. U. Penn's derogatory, unprofessional treatment of Professor Kariko is appalling. But, why Prof. Kariko returned to U. Penn - as an adjunct - when BioNTech embraced her work - is beyond appalling, even narcissistic. Her story is not unique in medicine and science, unfortunately.

      I wonder why she returned as an adjunct if they pushed her out and said she was not of faculty quality, and considering she had a well paying job, Senior VPs at biotech probably pays more than University salary, as they get fat bonuses and also equity in the company. I am guessing she made good money with her shares from BioNTech. I am curious why she returned to U Penn.
