Raise your hand if you’re a scientist that’s ever been forced to use Henrietta Lacks’ (HeLa) cells in the lab 🙋🏾‍♀️ I cried. I said are there ANY other cells we can use? They said NO. Not for the protocol we were using. SO MANY scientific discoveries were made using her cells.

Science is at its best when we ALL have a voice!

Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science 🎉

All areas of science are enhanced and enriched by both the work and presence of women and girls in the discipline.
