What Does Indigenous Health Equity Look Like? A Conversation with Dr. Myra Parker

Decolonizing Science is a grassroots organization and podcast run entirely by a black scientist currently obtaining their PhD in the field of biological sciences. The goal is to bridge the gap between activism and science by educating underprivileged communities and everyday people. The topics Decolonizing Science seeks to shed light on are environmental racism, health disparities and discrimination in the medical and research fields. We need to deconstruct colonial ideologies that have dictated and defined our understanding of science and medicine.
