ScienceBlogs has a new contributor, Rebecca Skloot of Culture Dish. The title is in part a reference to her new book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Looks interesting. If Henrietta Lacks doesn't ring a bell, look her up, it's rather freaky....
It makes a real good story doesnt it. But at the same time its pretty ironic. Hela should be given a decent burial and a sainthood.
Yes she is definitely worth reading about. A truly amazing story. I think it's a real shame that we don't know about her as well as we know about Lincoln, Washington or Einstein. Should be mandatory in all public schools to learn about her.
