All y’all boosted right?!?!?!?!?!?
🚨I wrote about what this surge is doing to the healthcare system. It's bad. Though less severe, Omicron is spreading quickly enough to inundate hospitals, which can't handle the strain cos so many healthcare workers had quit or are now sick. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…
With infections surging due to the Omicron variant, physicians are now urging people to ditch cloth face masks and instead recommend pairing cloth masks with surgical models or moving on to stronger respirator masks on.wsj.com/3qNSzym
So excited about this news: @HeLaFoundation has launched a special campaign that could erase all existing student loan debit for members of Henrietta Lacks's family 1/x (please see whole 🧵) henrietta-lacks-foundation.snwbll.com/let-s-eliminat…
Attn: Every scientist who has ever used HeLa cells You have an opportunity to give back. 👇

The head of the World Health Organization has honored Henrietta Lacks more than a decade after author Rebecca Skloot chronicled the immortal life of the woman whose cancer cells, taken without consent, became the foundation for vast medical breakthroughs. apne.ws/FjFs46g
Such an important historic moment...I'm overcome with emotions: joy & gratitude knowing members of Henrietta's family are in Geneva receiving this award, also deep sadness, wishing Deborah Lacks was there with them experiencing this moment she long dreamed of & fought so hard for

Had the privilege today of attending a writing seminar with @RebeccaSkloot —author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. #HeLa
What an amazing day! Meeting with the @HenriettaLacks family and @RebeccaSkloot discussing scientific writing, medical ethics, and the incredible legacy left to us by the amazing Henrietta Lacks! @ICTASVT #Womeninstem #HeLacells

what are y’all reading today? i’m starting “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” by @RebeccaSkloot. & yes, audio books, news outlets, magazines, manga/comics, & graphic novels, etc., count as reading! so what do ya got? 😀📚 #ReadAcrossAmerica2023 #ReadAcrossAmericaDay
Who is Henrietta? You will find the answer in this week's pick for #WednesdayQuote: "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by @RebeccaSkloot (2019), an absorbing and necessary book on scientific research and medical biases. Published by @PicadorUSA. #womenshistorymonth ❤️
Wonderful that she is recognised. Henrietta’s life is a cautionary tale of science over the rights of an individual. @RebeccaSkloot’s ‘The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks’ is a *must* read for Biology students #IWD2023
This morning's @ScottsHouseNews assembly combined the themes of #InternationalWomensDay and #ScienceWeek, looking at the story of Henrietta Lacks. Overlooked for many years, she is now remembered by a statue in Royal Fort Gardens – pictured this morning, covered in snow.

@darwinsbulldog I recommend The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks by @RebeccaSkloot. They’ll learn about history of science, cell biology, and ethics. amazon.com/Immortal-Life-…
@JLVernonPhD @darwinsbulldog @RebeccaSkloot 100% this. Hands down the best science book I've ever read.
This is wonderful. And big love to @RebeccaSkloot for introducing so many to Henrietta Lacks story.
A life-size statue of Henrietta Lacks, the Black woman whose cancer cells were taken without her consent and were used for medical research, will be placed in a plaza previously named after the Confederate general Robert E. Lee in Roanoke, Virginia. nyti.ms/3G4IaqW
I don't like what Twitter became. But I'm so, so grateful for how we used it early on: to make weird projects and friends.
Still speechless.
Congratulations to @andreafelliott and @randomhouse. #Pulitzer
One more huge, self-conscious thank you to all the sweet dog-carer-abouters out there. One handy development: I now know all 300 acres of that damn park intimately (and loathe each one equally) in case anyone needs a tour. Here’s Rosie where she belongs.
Just bought a new copy of the best book I’ve ever read (one of only three books I’ve read more than once as an adult). An incredible true story, brilliantly researched + written: #TVTTagTeam #LibraryTwitter #TeacherTwitter @patronofreading @RebeccaSkloot
Book 9. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by @RebeccaSkloot: A poor woman's cancer cells killed her but continued to grow in labs around the world and led to great progress in medical research. The book is about how her family had no idea and the ethics of it all. Eye-opening!
@nami_mun, @RebeccaSkloot, #eulabliss, @theresaschwegel, @SaraGruen, @BlueBalliett, @craneselizabeth, and to all the empowering female authors who graced our stage - thank you for your incredible stories! #WomensHistoryMonth
#HenriettaLacks has been on my mind continuously the last year. As I have given @HopkinsMedicine my & my son’s #cells and #DNA to research. #BlackHistoryMonth 1/5
