pickMost every science student (biological & social) has now been required to learn about Henrietta Lacks. She plays a vital role in science & consent. Racism & the treatment of Black people in America in the medical community in the past & present still play a larger role in health treatment & disparities. Definitely a must read if you‘re interested in learning about what the Lacks family has endured for generations. #realhistory #honesthistory
