It was discussed as a favorite book that explored the fascinating history of medical research, particularly the use of Henrietta Lacks' cells without her consent.
"
Like my favorite book that I read in the last two years is this book called The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
This woman in 1951, she had a cancer surgery and they took some of her cells.
It's just like her contribution to science is overwhelming and yet her descendants and her family have never been compensated.
So are you ready? I wish you could see Jenna right now, you guys. She is so animated. Her hands are moving like she's bending her fingers and then she's pointing and then she's reaching to the sky.
Read the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. It's really good.

It was referenced for its claims that women have a greater capacity for communicating and evaluating people than men, due to having more areas in the brain for this purpose.
"
Most women have the brain organization to out communicate any man on the planet.
Magnetic resonance imaging brain scans clearly show why women have a far greater capacity for communicating with and evaluating people than men do. It is because women have between 14 and 16 areas of the brain to evaluate others' behavior versus men's 4 to 6 areas.
And it explains why from a woman's standpoint, men don't seem to talk much. And from a man's standpoint, women seem to never shut up.
