The Museum of Science welcomes award-winning science journalist, broadcaster, and author of Superior: The Return of Race Science Angela Saini for a special one-night-only virtual conversation about the murky history of race science and the ways in which it’s being resurrected in the 21st century, how the far-right are attempting to repackage racism, the history of systemic racism engrained in STEM, and how the current COVID-19 pandemic is bringing the concept of racial hierarchy to the forefront of our society once again. Join us for an incredibly vital and timely evening with one of the world’s top thinkers and most respected journalists, in conversation with Osagie K. Obasogie, J.D., Ph.D., the Haas Distinguished Chair and Professor of Bioethics at the University of California, Berkeley, in the Joint Medical Program and School of Public Health.
