On this day in 1951, Henrietta Lacks died. Her cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 (HeLa cells) and became one of the most important tools in medicine. They became vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization & more. A THREAD

Geneticist here. You can’t make facial profiles or accurate pigmentation predictions from DNA, and this is dangerous snake oil.

Is anyone from #GeneChat going to the precision onc & dx conf in chicago on Oct 19? Never been to this one & would love some tips or to meet up!

Any restaurant recommendations for Chicago? Bonus if I can be sat as a party of 1 without a reservation.
