Lateness and A Book Review
Dec. 31st, 2011 09:58 pmYearly memes are late, as in fact are most of things I'm supposed to have done. Could I have a re-run on that meme answer? I am most definitely The White Rabbit from Alice In Wonderland. (If anyone knows of anyone who has made an 'I'm late, I'm late' white rabbit icon, I'd be obliged if you could link me to them. Credit will, of course, be given.)
On to other things that are late include my review of what was certainly the most interesting book I read this year, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Immortal_Life_of_Henrietta_Lacks)
( Details, cut for length )
I think this is a very good book, thought-provoking in the extreme, particular as a research biologist (although thankfully, not with human material), with an emphasis on the source of our data, and the fact that educating everyone about science is something that should be done because you can't have informed consent without it.
