challenging

informative

slow-paced
4.0
a much heavier read than i anticipated, but it does an incredible job unpacking the racism (as well as the sexism, transphobia, ableism) within science & the scientific community - both historically and presently - and the profound damage it continues to cause; i think anyone with an interest in science would benefit from reading this book
