The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is necessary reading. #theimmortallifeofhenriettalacks #herniettalacks #helacells #rebeccaskloot

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.

Listened to the audiobook of #TheImmortalLifeOfHenriettaLacks by #RebeccaSkloot

An incredibly powerful story of a Black woman, her family and her medical abuse. Read.Think.Debate.

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.
