In this compelling episode of A Slice of Health, award-winning science journalist Angela Saini discusses the complex intersections of race, science, and healthcare. She challenges long-standing racial myths in medical research, arguing that race is often an inappropriate and inaccurate proxy for understanding health outcomes.
Saini explores how pseudoscience and ingrained biases continue to impact medical practices, emphasizing the need to look at individual socioeconomic factors, lifestyle, and stress rather than relying on broad racial categories. With insights from her books "Superior" and "Inferior", she dismantles stereotypes about race, gender, and intelligence, advocating for a more nuanced, individual-focused approach to understanding human diversity.
A thought-provoking conversation that calls for critical examination of scientific research and healthcare practices.
