Kati Karikó and Susan Francia, mother and daughter, both medalists in the most literal sense. Karikó won the Nobel Prize for discoveries that made mRNA vaccines possible, work she carried forward for decades before the world understood what it would become. Francia won two Olympic gold medals as a rower, first in Beijing and again in London, earning her place through years of early mornings and relentless repetition on the water. In this moment they are not titles or podiums, just laughter and closeness, the shared weight of effort carried in different ways, and the rare joy of seeing hard won excellence reflected back through family.
