Henna Heals

This isn't strictly science, but it deals with women's baldness from either alopecia or cancer treatments.  Sometimes it's good for scientists to take a step back and see the more human side of the diseases they study.

Henna Heals is an organization started by Frances Darwin.  Artists use the bald scalp as a canvas for intricate and gorgeous Henna designs, then photographers capture the beauty of the woman.  These henna crowns bring life back to an area of the body where effects of the disease are most apparent and hopefully restores some confidence in its victims.
