Morich Zsigmond Correctional College in Kessigalas named its biology class after former student Katalin Carrico. A tree was also planted in the city of Great Plain in honor of the work of Hungary’s first female Nobel Prize laureate.
“All week we have been burning with Nobel Prize fever. We have prepared with an exhibition, thematic tours, lectures and announced tenders so that all our students are aware of the scientific rank of the Nobel Prize and learn about the pride of our school and the work and scientific achievements of Katalin Carrico, who graduated from the institution in 1973. We also pay tribute to scientific activities To our former valedictorian by naming our biology class after him, we bow our heads to his achievements, but also to his boundless love for Kisújszállás and his former school, and his humility towards scientific research.” General Manager Joseph Toth at Friday’s event.
Katalin Carrico’s former high school teacher, Albert Toth, also gave a speech to her unusual biology class Friday morning.
It all started here, in this room. From there, he took with him his scientific interest, but not only that, but also traditional human values, without which he would not have reached this point. His perseverance and hard work were evident even then. It says everything about him that his role model was not Albert Szentjörgy, who was already a Nobel laureate at that time, but János Selye, who, although nominated several times, never received this prestigious award. Although the seats are no longer the same, and my former valedictorian can’t be here for understandable reasons, looking around this room I can happily say that the spirit and personality of Katie Carrico is there, has always been here and will always be here among us.
– said Albert Toth in his short presentation to the school students.
In the city, Catalin Carrico is remembered not only for her former university. A tree was planted in his honor in the park next to the city library.
“Kisújszállás now has a newly planted linden tree in honor of science. Inspired by the work of Nobel laureate Katalin Karikó, the new tree has been given a home – and we hope it will stay for a long time – in the most worthy place, in front of the city’s János Arány Library, to remind everyone to promote science,” he said. Tibor Kovacs, the city’s deputy mayor, is himself a social researcher and geographer, “but also beyond that, the natural environment, the land and the importance of protecting and nurturing life.”
Katalin Karikó, who grew up and graduated from Kisogsalas, is Hungary’s first female Nobel laureate, and will receive her award in Stockholm on Sunday at 4 p.m. Hungarian time.
