I just finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks! Fascinating read that centers on the life of Henrietta, known to the science world as HeLa , medicine and bioethics, and multi-generational trauma.

This @scifri.bsky.social report also reminded of Henrietta Lacks, her HeLa cells, the impact on research and sadly the monetization and lack of informed consent. It is a gut wrenching story and a must read for everyone.

This was emotionally devastating. We owe so much of modern science to Henrietta Lacks. And yet her poor children lost her at such a young age.

Henrietta Lacks' descendants reach a settlement over the use of her 'stolen' cells
Her genetic material, taken without her knowledge in 1951, has helped facilitate numerous scientific breakthroughs, including the development of the polio and COVID-19 vaccines.

Listened to the audiobook of #TheImmortalLifeOfHenriettaLacks by #RebeccaSkloot
on the @libbyapp.com from my local library. What a story... thanks to @tinywriterlaura.bsky.social for suggesting it.

An incredibly powerful story of a Black woman, her family and her medical abuse. Read.Think.Debate.
A young Black woman stands with her hands on her hips, wearing a wool suit and a trendy hairstyle from the late 40s/early 50s. Set against a vivid orange and pink background that looks like the extreme close up of human? cells. She is looking directly at the camera. The right half of the image is a side silhouette of a woman's face in black, looking to the left. The image to the right is that of a busy street, with people crossing the road and a car in the foreground with a building to the far left. This image is in a faded teal colour, with some of the people and car highlights in black. The car is old and dates the image to the 1940s/50s. The title is in white colour, set in the woman's face and the authors name is written across the car.
