  1. Making Sense of the Science
    We don't know about you, but some of the science in this book was pretty overwhelming for us. Good thing Shmoop has your back with this refresher course in cell biology basics.

  2. Gettin' with the Times
    Henrietta lived, like, a really long time ago. Brush up on the whos, whats, wheres, and whens of the 1950s, the decade that Henrietta began changing the world as we know it (without, of course, knowing it herself).
