Moderna Co-Founder's Message to MIT Graduates: Innovation Requires a Bit of Irrationality

Reported 6 months ago

On June 6, 2024, at 7:00 pm, Noubar Afeyan, the co-founder of Moderna, delivered a speech titled 'Accepting Impossible Missions'. Afeyan, an MIT alum, shared his childhood experiences during Lebanon's civil war, drew parallels to 'Mission Impossible', and highlighted the importance of accepting challenging missions. He recounted Moderna's seemingly impossible task of developing a COVID-19 vaccine within a year and emphasized the role of irrationality in innovation. Afeyan encouraged graduates to embrace the 'impossible missions' ahead with the right mindset, imagination, and willingness to immigrate into the unknown.
