Henrietta Lacks, a black woman whose cells led to critical medical advances, has been memorialised in bronze.

Her family attended the unveiling of the sculpture, created by Helen Wilson-Roe, to honour the 'mother' of modern medicine.

Sex between men was illegal in the UK until 1967. However, its legalisation was partial & only for men 21+, criminalising young love.

20 years ago, Ralph Wilde, Will Parry, and my brother Hugo Greenhalgh took the British government to court to change that. Superb thread👇

By the way, it would be *really great* to have more ethnic diversity amongst our academic staff...
