Rebecca Skloot

The presentation was pretty cool actually.  I got a kick out of her telling stories about the Lacks family.  It was different to see the writer in person and think back to her story and just imagine her being there and dealing with everything.  It was neat too that she wanted to be a vet tech before a writer and that one class in college changed her mind.  Or rather refined her ambitions.  She could still be involved in science but also use her writing ability to reach others, thats what she said anyway.  It was alittle long but over all not as bad as i thought.  The questions asked by other people attending were some of the same ones i had but was no courageous enough to get up and ask.  I still wonder if the Lacks family will ever get any part of a settlement or money for what theyve been through and the great things that Henrietta gave to us all.
