Dear Sugars Rewind: The Great Reckoning This episode was originally published on July 28th, 2018.
Dear Sugars returned to Portland, Oregon, for an epic live show. Special guests Mitchell S. Jackson and Rebecca Skloot shared the stage with the Sugars to tell stories of personal reckoning and answer letters from the audience.

SteministasWho was Henrietta Lacks?As part two of our series on unethical treatment of Black people in science and medicine, we tell the story of Henrietta Lacks. We all owe Henrietta thanks for the birth of HeLa cells. These cells, which came from a cancerous tumor removed from Henrietta, became the first human cell line. HeLa started a biological revolution! Unfortunately, Henrietta and the Lacks family were uninformed and treated poorly by the medical staff and researchers involved in the process. Her experience illustrates how important and divisive informed consent and tissue bioethics still is in this country.

I Love Everyone,” was about 23 people who rode out the storm in a convenience store cooler. The store was destroyed, but the people within all survived.
