The Admirable American for this week is a research scientist. In 1955, European-American Dr. Jonas Salk released his vaccine for Polio. He refused to patent his discovery. When asked about giving up the money a patent would bring, he noted the life-giving importance of his vaccine and asked, “Could you patent the sun?”
