The thing I like least about the weekend is Sunday evening. It’s the furthest point away from Friday, but it’s also the closest point to yet another Monday morning. I’d give anything to win the lottery. It’d save me from yet another commute to work, battling through the honking traffic and stinking fumes.

For me, that’s yet another good reason to hit the snooze button and slide back under the duvet. It’s only Sunday morning after all!

Not long after Henrietta’s death, planning began for a HeLa factory—a massive operation that would grow to produce trillions of HeLa cells each week. It was built for one reason: to help stop polio.


By the end of 1951 the world was in the midst of the biggest polio epidemic in history. Schools closed, parents panicked, and the public grew desperate for a vaccine. In February 1952, Jonas Salk at the University of Pittsburgh announced that he’d developed the world’s first polio vaccine, but he couldn’t begin offering it to children until he’d tested it on a large scale to prove it was safe and effective.

I was a dainty ballerina girl standing by the curtains, waiting to hear the right music that would send me floating on my tiptoes. I was like the Christ child lifted out of the straw manger, crying with holy indignity. I was Cinderella stepping from her pumpkin carriage with sparkly cartoon music filling the air.
