Rebecca Skloot is an American science writer and author of the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks." She has a degree in Creative Nonfiction, which is a genre that tells a true story in a novel-like style. Skloot spent over a decade researching and writing the book, which tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, an African American woman whose cancer cells were taken without her knowledge and used for scientific research, leading to numerous medical breakthroughs. Skloot's decision to maintain the authenticity of the dialect in which people spoke to her, including the heavy Southern accent of the Lacks family and the non-native English speakers, has been praised for its honesty and impact on the story. Since the publication of her book, Skloot has toured extensively in the US and Europe, discussing the many issues of race, science, and privacy it raises.
