Hi Everyone, hope you are all staying safe during this pandemic. For our 50th full episode, we are continuing our series on the long intertwining history of race, racism, and science. In this episode, the second of three, we discuss racist science in the 20th and 21st century by focusing on eugenics and human genetics. Next time we will talk about specific examples of racist scientific misconduct and racism in IQ.
