Description
Award-winning writer Doug Moe’s new book, Saving Hearts and Killing Rats: Karl Paul Link and the Discovery of Warfarin, traces the history of celebrated UW-Madison biochemist Karl Paul Link, through interviews and the UW-Madison University Archives, from his humble Indiana roots through the discovery of a medication that would save the lives of two presidents. Exemplifying the Wisconsin idea, Link’s Lasker award-winning work served the state and beyond.
