The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and Skloot on ABC World News Tonight! [Culture Dish]

A quick post as I run out the door for the teeveey studio: Set your TiVos and your DVRs, mark your calendars: Tonight I’ll be on ABC World News talking about my new book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.  The segment will also feature members of Henrietta’s family, and Vincent Racaniello with lots, and lots of HeLa cells.
ALSO:  The first reviews of The Immortal Life are starting to hit newspapers.  There’s a terrific review on the front page of the Washington Post Outlook section today, and another great one in the St. Petersburg Times. 
As the kids say:  wOOt! Stay tuned, later today, I’ll be posting details of the many HeLa related events happening this week in New York:  At Columbia, McNally Jackson Bookstore, and more.
