Description
Join me today to learn about the woman whose unique cells were "immortal." A cell sample taken during a procedure (without her consent or knowledge) would change the world of medicine. Learn about this amazing woman who was mostly unknown until 60 years after her death... even though many of the vaccines, treatments, and understanding of cells that we have today wouldn't be possible without her contribution. Honor her by learning about her life.
