Description

Hi Everyone, hope you are all staying safe during this pandemic. We are continuing our series on the long intertwining history of race, racism, and science. In this episode, the third of four*, we discuss some specific examples of racist scientific misconduct: things like the Tuskegee Experiment and the treatment of Henrietta Lacks and her family.
*We went so long on this episode that we split it in two, with the second part on Racism and IQ coming out on Friday, so look forward to hearing Sean and Nathan rant about that shit for like 40 minutes.

Profane, insane, and 100% primo science, Petri Dish is a no-BS podcast that explores the wildest subjects in modern science with clarity and evil joy. Hosted by Sean Allen, a Nanoparticle/Immunology Researcher, and Nathan Allen, his "screenwriter" brother, Petri Dish fuses hard science with a freewheeling and madcap conversational style. Cannabinoids, Plague, Cats, the dreaded Candiru, and the even more dreaded Covid-19: all these and more are dissected with intellect and irreverence, dropping every week. So reject ignorance. Join the Scientific Revolution. Join Petri Dish.
