We're celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

Let's look back on the life of Marie Skłodowska Curie: a Nobel Prize laureate who dedicated her life to science and became one of the world's greatest scientists.

Yall look at how much HeLa cells cost. $546 PER VIAL. That family is owed BIG TIME. Good for them.

[Raven Baxter, Ph.D. @ravenscimaven]

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.

@kvsambrose thank you for your leadership and advocacy. It’s so apt that on Nelson Mandela International Day, you were speaking about equity as part of the panel session hosted by @Capgemini.

[Karen Ambrose @kvsambrose]

Was honoured to be invited to be part of a panel session yesterday by the Women In Engineering at Capgemini to discuss "The experiences of Women of Colour in the workplace", truly empowering discussion with fellow panelists, Frida Nzaba and Nintse Dan-The Mincose. Great Chat.
