I'm going to object to the statement that we use HeLa cells in every experiment and that they are the standard in scientific research. They WERE the standard and MASSIVE breakthroughs were done using her cells. But in the past 15 years they are being used less and less in favor of more disease appropriate models (I've only used them once in 2009 for an early proof of concept experiment). The shame/crime was that she was not told that her cells will be kept, studied and sold; and her identity was not protected. Fortunately right now consent rules are quite strict and you can't just steal someone's cells for an experiment. You also have to protect the person's identity. Research is still dependent on patients donating their tissues for any breakthroughs and hopefully we can improve communication between patients, doctors and researchers. The current distrust in science is hurting us all, including the environment
thank you for commenting this - I shouldn’t have spoken without more knowledge of the current situation. I agree that the distrust the public has not helped society move forward, and I hate that I’m contributing to that by spreading misinformation about the usage of HeLa cells! Thank you Laura, I’ll pin this comment
@@tiachu it's not misinformation, it's just based on earlier years when HeLa cells were heavily used, so don't feel guilty about it. Funny enough though, the reason why these cells are still used more often than we realize is because they contaminated other cell cultures--a lot of labs didn't observe strict cell culture rules and ended up seeding other cultures with HeLa cells, and they thrived. It never happened to me, but I had another contamination once. I was working on a breast cancer project and my brand new cells (burrowed from another lab) looked and behaved a bit strange. So I sent them for DNA analysis and sure enough: instead of a female breast cancer cell line, I had a male colon cancer one 😂. Six months of work, down the drain...Ah research is fun. Love your thrift-book shopping videos and love those two furry menaces in your home 🥰
OHHH NOOO THE CONTAMINATION 😭😭😭😭 how frustrating, I can’t imagine finding that out after 6 months just like 😧😐 LOL. One time in college we were doing a lab on agar plates, and idk where my group messed up but as the cultures grew there was this bright pink stuff all over our cells?? And we asked my professor and she literally said “I’ve never seen that before, please dispose of that in medical waste immediately” LIKE WHAAATT 😩😩😩 science is so fun and so crazy LOL. That’s fascinating though!!! Thanks so much for these comments, for real made my day and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the vids and the furry kids 🥹💗
@@tiachu that reminds me of this story one of my colleagues shared: he was organizing a lab for undergrads with another TA and they gave one student a lollipop that had been dipped into a culture of E. coli bacteria. The student was supposed to touch it with his gloves, then he was supposed to shake hands with other colleagues (all wearing gloves) and at the end they were supposed to touch their hands on an agar plate, let it incubate and figure out who was the person who first held the original infected item. At the end of the class the other teaching assistant was looking for the lollipop that had been dipped in bacteria and couldn't find it. Turns out the guy who was supposed to touch it first thought it was safe to eat. The TA nearly had an apoplectic attack. I do not want to know the amount of paperwork they had to fill in for that incident. The student was fine. Though I'm not sure he should be allowed to graduate.
Your embossed flower glass dish is a quiche pan. The glassware is made by Anchor Hocking and the pattern is called Savannah. It's vintage. Pretty pattern!
@@tiachu I do try to focus on reading what I already own, but it is difficult not to buy too 😂 It's cool you are lucky in your cheap finds, I hope it's a continuning streak!
I think that spinner is a "remote boat" we had one to hold the DVD player remote, the TiVo remote, the television itself remote, the sound bar remote lol so many remotes!
Tia!! I didn't get a notification that you'd tagged me! Feeling grateful I happened to click on this vid. I looove both the books you picked up. Middlesex is hefty, but I had such a good time with it. Doing gods work organizing 50 shades HAHA. That goodwill is more stocked than my gd barnes and noble holy shit
Love the haul! I’ve been meaning to read Writers and Lovers. I also want to read Today Will Be Different, I read her other book Where’d you go Bernadette and really liked it. Love the little dish☁️ and 🦆!

Thank you SO much for commenting this!!! I love being able to identify the thrifted stuff around my house 😩♥️ very much appreciated!!!!!!
Great haul. I wish my goodwill was not near a busy intersection I would walk to one. I can't wait for more videos. Hope you have an fantastic day.
ah thank you so much!! 💗 I hope you find an accessible thrift store soon! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY TOO
If my thriftstores or regular stores were half as interesting as yours then my physical tbr would bigger and cheaper
HAHAHA this is why my physical tbr is very very big sigh (but thankfully yes overall cheap!)
@@tiachu I do try to focus on reading what I already own, but it is difficult not to buy too 😂 It's cool you are lucky in your cheap finds, I hope it's a continuning streak!
I love how happy that brown thing with hearts makes you at the end lol you could use it to put mail in it!
I got 2 Celeste Ng books on my tbr but idk if I will like them. I will borrow them through my library though

Maybe I’m stationery obsessed, but I think that wooden lazy susan thingy is for stationery and it moves to divide your pens. Mayyyyyybe…😂
I also know Writers And Lovers from Charles. I love his channel 👌😂
I would have gone crazy for the Seabiscuit book.
Cute! Love your message girl! God bless!
Love the haul! I’ve been meaning to read Writers and Lovers. I also want to read Today Will Be Different, I read her other book Where’d you go Bernadette and really liked it. Love the little dish☁️ and 🦆!
Ooohh I’m stoked to hear you liked WYGB!!! 💗 - I feel like I will blindly read any book you like HAHAHAH
I loved Her Majesty's Royal Coven!
I read Caraval in 1 day, I was just waiting for it to get good and then it was over 😂

Idk if you are a Rick Riordan fan but I saw The Throne of Fire! It’s the 2nd book in the Kane chronicles trilogy. It’s really good

Where is this Goodwill? Great book selection!
I prefer to keep the location private since it’s near where I live, but omg yes I love their selection 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@tiachu I understand! It's a nice, clean selection! I love my local Goodwills! I hit them all monthly. My TBR stacks are ridiculously tall!!
we are the sAMMEEE YEAH 🤝🤝🤝 (and thank u for respecting my privacy!! 💗)
I dont know what I want 😢 Life is hard
Where is this goodwill??? They have an amazing book section and so organized
😭I don’t quite feel comfortable giving the location since it’s my local one, but yes I feel so lucky they consistently have SUCH a good selection!!!!
I completely understand! Just jealous 😁 although I do like sifting through my goodwill and finding the gems hidden
I was so sad when you said you didn’t like Caraval as that’s my favorite series.
I’m not much of a fantasy or YA girlie, so I think as a whole it just didn’t work for me :( but so happy that you loved it!!!!!! 💗💗
