This week we get a lesson and conversation with Chris Schell, PhD, professor at University of Washington Tacoma. Chris studies the ecological impact of racism in urban environments. We discuss environmental racism, how wildlife species in cities indicate human health, and how black folks have been left out of conversations about climate change and why that is so harmful.&nbsp;

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.
