Her cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 (HeLa cells) and became one of the most important tools in medicine. They became vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization & more.

rising gas prices, cost of living, inflation… grad students are already stretched thin and denied raises because “we actually pay you better than other universities”, mask mandates lifting….
