This mini episode I discuss Jonas Salk, a visionary medical researcher who developed the world’s first effective polio vaccine in 1955, bringing relief to millions facing the crippling disease. Rather than patenting his breakthrough, Salk famously declared, 'There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?' His selfless choice allowed for widespread distribution, transforming public health and solidifying his legacy as a true hero of kindness.
