I was recently commissioned to write an original poem highlighting the power of cell research.
This was my first time using poetry in collaboration with science.
The piece I wrote, “Saving our Cells,” spotlights the work of an incredible scientist—Dr. Heather Beasley—whose research studies why Black and Latina women have worse outcomes when diagnosed with breast cancer.
My mom is a survivor, so this one cuts very close to the bone.
