#SciCommTF starting off with a bang!! Can’t wait to get to work with this amazing group :)

Absolutely fantastic talk by Ed Yong this morning! What a great way to kick off #ARVO2024 🤩

Henrietta's family can sue every pharmaceutical company that has profited off her cells since the Polio vaccine was distributed & WIN! Genetic Justice is no longer an unprecedented case! I hope this settlement doesn't end the conversation.
