Henrietta Lacks Memorial School Visits

Regional elementary, middle and high school students visit the Johns Hopkins East Baltimore Medical Campus to learn supplemental information following reading “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot. The goal of the day is to provide information to supplement student reading and curriculum with real life experiences in labs and with professionals who utilize stem cells daily. The events also serve to develop a further understanding of bioethics in today’s culture compared to the 1950s.
