Coming up today, a feel good story in a year where, let’s be real, there’s been a lot of bad. The story of a husband and wife doctor team who have spearheaded the leading vaccine for COVID-19.
You’ll often hear me say on the podcast, that opportunity is borne out of threat. The work of Doctors Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci, the two driving forces behind the leading COVID-19 vaccine, is the poster child of how anyone can take incredible, existential, and in this case – global, once in a generational, threat – and respond through life changing, and life saving, opportunity chasing.
On today’s episode, I’ll explore how Doctors Sahin and Tureci formulated the COVID-19 vaccine. The Risktory Podcast is created, hosted and produced by Jacinthe A Galpin.
