The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is both a nonfiction book and the basis for an upcoming HBO movie starring Oprah Winfrey. I make a case for why everyone should know who Henrietta is, and urge you to read the book by Rebecca Skloot (it's $11 for Kindle, do it now!). It's for biotech nerds like me and for you, too. The 4th Annual Byrds Fore A Cure is upon us! Hosted at Stonecreek Golf Club in Phoenix on 5/6, we're accepting player registrations and business sponsors here, as well as accepting donations from non-golfers for our Byrds Fore Birdies putt-putt challenge next weekend here. All proceeds benefit the Arizona Chapter of Cure SMA, for which I serve as Vice President.
