IRB Intro Post Marking Period 1

For the first marking period I am reading The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. This book is a biography of Henrietta's life and how her cells have been perserved and used for scientific experimentation. I selected this book becuase I enjoy reading historical fiction and realistic fiction and I thought this book might be comperable. The topic is unique and it made me wonder about how these cells have advanced medicine.
