Someone Who Made A Difference

I owe my life to Kevlar 129.

That's the reality. I half suspect Stephanie Kwolek got more actual reward from lives saved than she would a giant payoff. Some people just tend to be that way. They would certainly enjoy being millionaires but if give the choice would still opt to invent something that saves lives.

Totally agree.

I agree she may have not wanted to profit from her research even if she could have. I suspect, at least in the beginning, she didn't even know the eventual outcome of discovering Kevlar and it becoming a life saving material.

As bad as work product agreements seem, she probably needed lab equipment that she didn't have lying around in her basement and surely couldn't afford.
