Join us as we discuss *The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks* by Rebecca Skloot.

Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor black tobacco farmer whose cells, —taken without her knowledge in 1951, —became one of the most important tools in medicine, vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, and more.

Everyone is welcomed to attend the discussion.
