Save the Date! Wed, 5/19/21–Residency Book Club! The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
Hello Everyone!
Happy Spring! We are so excited to announce that the UCSD IM Book Club is starting up again with the fabulous book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. This non-fiction book tells the incredible story of Henrietta Lacks whose cervical cancer cells were the first to be grown in culture and are still being propagated today. These cells, known as HeLa cells by scientists, have been essential to many medical advancements from the polio vaccine to gene mapping. During the author’s research, she became close with Henrietta Lacks’ remaining family members uncovering an extraordinary history of human experimentation and medical ethics. Check out this link for a full review: https://bloom-obgyn.com/book-review-the-immortal-life-of-henrietta-lacks-by-rebecca-skloot/
UCSD’s book club strives to encourage reading and foster rewarding discussions in a very laid-back setting. We invite anyone and everyone (including family and friends) to join us whether you have time to read the whole book or even just the first page! This book has also been made into a feature film starring Oprah Winfrey, which is a great option to check out, if you aren’t able to pick up the book! The movie is available for streaming on HBO max.
Date & Time: Wednesday, May 19th at 6:30pm
Location: TBD (tentatively planning for an outdoor location at a pretty park)
Be on the lookout for an evite in your email! Email Lizzy Hastie ehastie@health.ucsd.edu for more details!
We cannot wait to hang out and chat about this beautiful book with you soon!
