QUOTE OF THE DAY
“I want scientists to acknowledge that HeLa cells came from an African American woman who was flesh and blood, who had a family and who had a story.”
Celebrate the life and legacy of Henrietta Lacks, says her granddaughter Jeri Lacks-Whye — as well as the contributions that her cells have made to science. Samples of Lacks’s tissue were used without her knowledge or consent to create the widely used HeLa cell line. (Nature)
