Happy MLK Day! Dr. King once said, “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.” As researchers, we understand that sometimes things do not go as expected, but let’s allow this quote to remind us that EVERY step in the journey to discovery counts.

70 years ago, Henrietta Lacks, a young African American mother, passed away due to an aggressive cervical cancer. Unknowingly, her cells were extracted. HeLa cells became the first human cells to survive outside the body and were the primary cell line for the COVID vaccine.
