"It's a fascinating glimpse at a science that's moving faster than the regulations that govern it," science writer Rebecca Skloot told a standing room only crowd at DePauw University tonight. Skloot is the author of the bestseller, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, which tells the story of how the cells of a woman who died nearly 60 years ago have launched medical breakthroughs and raised serious questions about science, ethics, research, race, class and history.
