He tells the doomed story of Yuri Lipski who brought a camera with him and we can watch as he gets lost under the sea. It's very scary. We would love to

Today, we are closing out Women's History Month with the story of Henrietta Lacks. Henrietta died of cervical cancer in 1951 - but her cells have lived on. They divide and duplicate at such a rate that if you could gather all the HeLa cells in one spot they could weigh 50 tons. They have been used in creating vaccines, researching cancer, and mapping the human genome. All the while, Henrietta's family didn't know that this was happening and would get asked for DNA samples and blood tests every so

About 100 years or so ago, the best-selling author of all time, Agatha Christie, went missing for 11 days. She left her home in the evening, crashed her car, and was found later at a spa in the country.
