How Science Progresses...

[Fred Bloggs]

The latest vaccine technology using messenger RNA technology, mRNA, which is tentatively proving to be a very effective immunization for COVID-19, is based upon the cell chemistry of the ribosome. Ribosomes were first discovered by a Romanian born immigrant to America, George Palade.

Looks like quite a few \"non-Americans\" have made major contributions to the kinds of science and technology essential to overcoming the toughest challenges confronting mankind.

The technical stuff is well beyond me but I noticed he mentioned
competitors keeping his group on their toes.

James Burke had a show, Connections, on in the late 1970s.
He talked about the odd coincidences that happened to make a
modern invention. I wonder what he\'d have to say now about all
the stuff invented since then.

Non-American? Palade did his post-doc research and Nobel work in the
US and was a US citizen by 1952.

LOL- did you miss the part about being born in 1912? Forty years isn\'t exactly overnight shipping.

He earned his M.D. in Romania. From the wiki \"early life\" section:
George Emil Palade was born on November 19, 1912 in Iași, Romania; his father was a professor of philosophy at the University of Iași and his mother was a high school teacher. George E. Palade received his M.D. in 1940 from the Carol Davila School of Medicine in Bucharest.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Emil_Palade

No telling how he would have ended up as an American raised doctor- probably more high income practice oriented than basic research.

Being American isn\'t about where you were born, it\'s about where you
decided to live and work.

I\'m pretty sure he wasn\'t going to return to Romania under Soviet occupation and exploitation:
\"Romania remained under the direct military occupation and economic control of the USSR until the late 1950s.\"
\"A 2006 Commission estimated the number of direct victims of the Communist repression at two million people.[\"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania#Communism
Prior to that \"Antonescu signed the Tripartite Pact of Germany, Italy and Japan on 23 November. [1940]\"
The place was in constant turmoil- a bloodbath of wars and repression.
That Wiki bio leaves out a lot of stuff- but it does say he came to U.S. in 1946. Sounds more like a refugee move than a personal choice.

Ceaușescu didn\'t come to power until 1965, but the place was pretty hopeless before that. He and his wife seem to have been pretty unpleasant people, and after the Soviet Union collapsed they not only got ejected from power but were also tried and executed for their crimes - not much of trial, but it was tidier that letting a mob lynch them.

> That Wiki bio leaves out a lot of stuff- but it does say he came to U.S. in 1946. Sounds more like a refugee move than a personal choice.

He came from a privileged family. The Soviet take-over tended to treat such people as \"enemies of the people\" and those who could did get out. Some ended up in Australia too.

Median US household income is over $63K, over $1200 a week.

There are half a billion people in the world living on under $2 a day.
The absolute number is the lowest it\'s been in over 100 years.

Being American isn\'t about where you were born, it\'s about where you
decided to live and work.

I\'m pretty sure he wasn\'t going to return to Romania under Soviet occupation and exploitation:
\"Romania remained under the direct military occupation and economic control of the USSR until the late 1950s.\"
\"A 2006 Commission estimated the number of direct victims of the Communist repression at two million people.[\"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania#Communism
Prior to that \"Antonescu signed the Tripartite Pact of Germany, Italy and Japan on 23 November. [1940]\"
The place was in constant turmoil- a bloodbath of wars and repression.
That Wiki bio leaves out a lot of stuff- but it does say he came to U.S. in 1946. Sounds more like a refugee move than a personal choice.

He didn\'t choose Canada or France or Brazil.

The latest vaccine technology using messenger RNA technology, mRNA, which is tentatively proving to be a very effective immunization for COVID-19, is based upon the cell chemistry of the ribosome. Ribosomes were first discovered by a Romanian born immigrant to America, George Palade.

Looks like quite a few \"non-Americans\" have made major contributions to the kinds of science and technology essential to overcoming the toughest challenges confronting mankind.

Non-American? Palade did his post-doc research and Nobel work in the
US and was a US citizen by 1952.

LOL- did you miss the part about being born in 1912? Forty years isn\'t exactly overnight shipping.

He earned his M.D. in Romania. From the wiki \"early life\" section:
George Emil Palade was born on November 19, 1912 in Ia?i, Romania; his father was a professor of philosophy at the University of Ia?i and his mother was a high school teacher. George E. Palade received his M.D. in 1940 from the Carol Davila School of Medicine in Bucharest.

No telling how he would have ended up as an American raised doctor- probably more high income practice oriented than basic research.

He had a medical degree. America would have let him in. They were a bit picky about who they would let in at the time.

Australia took in quite few people after WW2 - they were interested in getting the population a bit higher. The White Australia policy was still vigorously enforced back then, but they didn\'t have the US prejudice against southern Europeans - or not to the same extent.

There are half a billion people in the world living on under $2 a day.
The absolute number is the lowest it\'s been in over 100 years.

So? The life of hunter-gatherer or herder or subsistence farmer is just fine without
currency. $2 a day sounds bad, but a herd or farm is worth BIG money,
and those investments pay off directly in food etc., without any cash changing
hands.
