Day 300 - October 27

We read this for book club this month.  It's about the woman & family behind the famous "HeLa" cells.  Her cancer cells were unusual in that they were easy to keep alive in the lab.  Decades later, HeLa cells have been used in all kinds of science - from the Polio vaccine to space flight.  It was really interesting.
